Cheng Ziyu's guess is good.

Zhu Changjue's fire is indeed a signal.

It was the signal for the beginning of his actions.

Just kidding, how could there be no secret door in his house? He has been fighting with the crown prince for so many years, so he naturally has already prepared a back road in case it is not him who is on the throne!

He has never had a lot of enemies, and his past methods and style are fierce, once he fails to stand in a high position, he will definitely encounter a lot of revenge, and he will definitely be dead. Therefore, he already had a complete escape plan a few years ago.

What is prevented is that one day he will be detained, and one day he will be reduced to fish and meat to be slaughtered.

Even if there are many palace guards in the palace, what if there are people staring at the palace in secret?

In fact, as long as he wants, he can avoid all eyeliner in the front and back yards.

Over the years, the Juewang Mansion has been like an iron bucket without leaking, and many secret doors and dark rooms and dark courtyards are not something that these guards who have only been here for a few days can figure out.

The study in his front yard and the main courtyard in the back garden have secret doors and dark rooms that can only be opened by him, where the truly unsightly correspondence and large amounts of wealth are there.

From the moment he started the project, the items of wealth that were really important to him had already begun to move.

In his bedroom in the main courtyard, there is a secret passage leading to a peach forest in the east of the house.

And the peach forest, on that day, invited a master to cloth.

There's a formation in it.

Those who can't walk can't walk into the depths of the peach forest at all. Of course, in view of the fact that this forest is not very well cared for, the scenery is not good, and it is close to the corner, and the concubines who love to wander around on weekdays rarely come here.

Therefore, few people know that there is a rockery in the deepest part of the peach forest.

And that rockery is still active.

After the stone gate is opened behind the rockery, through a hole, there is a dark passage of thirty zhang, through that end, after pushing open the stone door, it is no longer within the scope of the Juewang Mansion.

Instead, he has arrived at someone else's house not far away, a nouveau riche surnamed Cai from Haining.

Is that a merchant, or the kind of nouveau riche that the surrounding powerful families hate.

Many years ago, the reason why the Cai family spent a lot of money to buy the garden in this prime location was because of the good feng shui here, all of them were nobles, and they hoped that their home would be stained with a high gloss and be noble, and it would be prosperous in the future. He also said that although only a corner of the palace was close to the palace, it could be regarded as touching the light of the royal family.

At that time, the steward of King Jue's Mansion knew about it and came to the door to make trouble, but he knew that the merchant was a hard bone, and he actually made a big deal by looking for death and life, so that the prince also used this incident as a handle to attack King Jue at that time.

As a result, the surrounding residents are helpless against this annoying family.

Later, because the merchant was engaged in the sale of sea goods, he traveled from south to north all the year round, and often brought large quantities of goods to his home, and the population was still mixed.

Therefore, the evil relationship between the Jue Wangfu and that merchant is almost all known in the capital, who would have expected that the real owner of that place is Zhu Changjue.

And the task of that caravan on weekdays is to be used by Zhu Changjue, to cover up a lot of secret and unsightly transactions. Even the guards raised by the caravan are all Zhu Changjue's secret forces.

At this critical moment, this caravan was naturally used by him as a cover.

In the past two days, the wealth and important people he wants to transfer have naturally begun to slowly transfer to the Cai family. Some large quantities have been shipped away by the Cai family in batches.

Including his two sons, they also came to his room from across the courtyard in the middle of the night last night, went to Cai's house through the secret passage, and dressed up as a family of farmers with a couple of people, preparing to go out of the city in an ox cart this morning.

Two days ago, the Cai family went to the city gate to report and complete the procedures for the caravan to go south early this morning. At that time, Zhu Changjue will blend into the caravan and go out of the city openly.

As for his elites, some were already waiting outside the city, and many of them arrived at Cai's house in disguise a few days in advance, pretending to be caravan guards.

This morning, after pinching the route of the two teams of guards in the palace and looking for an opportunity to bring down a lone guard, the operation began.

Dou's troubles at the west gate successfully attracted most of the guards guarding inside and outside the mansion, although his main courtyard was always watched, but he never took a step out of the main courtyard by getting drunk the night before, and relaxed the other party's vigilance.

As a result, in the main courtyard, where a lot of oil and wine had already been accumulated, everything was carried out without anyone noticing.

So at that time, the one who replaced Zhu Changjue as King Jue was actually a stand-in, and he himself had already arrived at Cai's house next door through the Taolin rockery, and changed his face from the gate of Cai's house to help load the car and drive the horse away.

As for the secret passage and dark room of the main courtyard, and those unsightly account letters, they were also set on fire. And the organs that could not be burned were also forcibly destroyed by Zhu Changjue's personal guards.

The Dou family has been buying time for Zhu Changjue, and Zhu Changjue's troubles among the people have also attracted most of the secret guards to him.

When the fire broke out, the Cai family's convoy had already gone out for more than 100 feet. When the dark guard rushed into the fire and found that the king in front of him was not Zhu Changjue, the convoy was already preparing to leave the city.

It is precisely because of the existence of this secret escape route that although there are several secret guards around King Jue's Mansion, they have not been able to discover Zhu Changjue's escape at the first time, let alone find the way and way for him to leave at the first time......

Indeed, as Cheng Ziyu expected.

As soon as the city gate was opened, they saw that it was a caravan with all the paperwork and had already been registered, and the officers and soldiers did not have any suspicions, but only made a routine inspection and let it go.

Zhu Changjue easily issued a warrant to Li Chun, demanding that the gates of the cities be strictly inspected, and he had already left Beijing.

On the other hand, the Dark Guard's tracking is not easy.

There are eight city gates in the capital, and they can't be sure which one Zhu Changjue took, so after reporting the news to the general's mansion as soon as possible, they could only go separately, leaving some to search in Beijing, and the rest of the people were divided into eight parts to chase from each city gate as quickly as possible......

Divided into eight routes, they found that each gate had left this morning with significantly larger numbers than usual. There are those who have left Beijing with their families; There is a caravan traveling; There are those who travel long distances to visit relatives; There is also a dart team to travel with darts......

For a moment, they couldn't judge.

They knew that this was also Zhu Changjue's smoke, just to disrupt their sight.

And soon, four of the secret guards were actually counter-killed.

It stands to reason that the secret guard will not be discovered if he does not reveal his identity easily.

But it was evident that when they were conducting an interrogation at the city gates, someone had secretly targeted them. So as soon as they left the city, they were intercepted and killed by Zhu Changjue's dead soldiers.

The secret guards are not sad but happy, which shows that Zhu Changjue fled from this road, and others are nearby.

As a result, the Dark Guard immediately released a signal flare and contacted his own men to come to resupply......

And it turns out that even if they are well-trained, when facing the cunning Zhu Changjue, they can only be played.

Li Chun first received a signal from the southwest city gate, and immediately transferred hundreds of guards to chase after him. Unbeknownst to me, there were also signals from the south city gate and the northeast city gate one after another......

Li Chun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I knew it wouldn't be that easy.

The three directions are so far apart that it is obviously impossible to divide them.

Zhu Changjue deliberately wanted to disturb his vision!

He immediately ordered the secret guards to chase and save their lives, and would rather avoid waiting for an answer than go deep into the tiger's den to forcibly arrest people. The other party came prepared, and it was difficult for the dark guards whose strength was scattered to bargain.

Sure enough, soon, two more city gates were also flares.

Li Chun had no choice but to cast a wide net and dispatched most of the troops that could be mobilized to chase after him. Who told him that he couldn't judge Zhu Changjue's intentions?

He thought about it for a few breaths, and it stands to reason that Zhu Changjue's forces are in the south, and it is more likely that he will go south. But the south has already been scared, will he still go south?

To the east, he is about to enter the sea, what strength does he have to go east?

It is not very likely to go to the north, northwest, and northeast, will he still go to the foreigners?

What else could he do?

Is it difficult to go up the mountain and fall into the grass?

Li Chun led all the way to the south and chased after him.

The people did not chase them, but they found the corpses of two secret guards and five dead soldiers.

Further south, the southern suburbs of the forest were poured with oil and were burning with fire, successfully blocking the path of the guards' pursuit.

On the other side of the forest, there is a village. Seeing that the fire has burned to the entrance of the village.

The villagers were doing their best to extinguish the fire, and when they saw the guards, they were overjoyed and rushed to call for help.

As a result, the guards were faced with a choice: either let this sea of fire go alone and choose to take a detour to continue south, but perhaps hundreds of lives would be saddled, or they would put out the fire and temporarily give up the pursuit of Zhu Changjue, who might be fleeing on this road.

Li Chunyi made a mistake, left the guards to fight the fire, and went straight to the palace with a horse......

He didn't know that in fact, Zhu Changjue and his people not only did not go south, but also turned into pieces as soon as they left the city gate. In response, they quickly formed five more teams of men and horses with different lines, and took different paths, but only one direction.

Soon, his number of people was increased. So his men increased from five to ten......

Cheng Ziyu's thoughts at the moment are very strange.

She suddenly felt that it might be good if she couldn't catch Zhu Changjue.

As she previously judged, after Zhu Changjue came back, no matter what the crime was, the worst outcome would be just a detention end. Moreover, the Jue Wang's Mansion has been burned, and many evidences have been broken, and the emperor will not be ruthless to him at all.

He can still eat and drink spicy food, and even have a chance to make a comeback.

But if he defects......

First of all, the position of the emperor is absolutely impossible for his turn.

Secondly, Cheng Ziyu couldn't think of how much more hidden strength he could have.

Therefore, it is very likely that he will only choose to hide his head and tail and flee in all directions to avoid the pursuit of the Holy Lord and the future emperor. Or, hide in Tibet and live a lifetime of grievances. Or, unwilling to give up the throne, he struggled to die again, but at that time, he was guilty of treason and treason.

No matter who the emperor is at that time, he will be killed without any reservations!

Perhaps, such an option is better?

So, when Cheng Ziyu heard that Li Chun entered the palace after chasing half of him, he guessed that he might have the same psychology as himself. Since you can't kill him if you catch him, it's better to cut off his back road and force him to rebel......

Even, he didn't have to rebel, just escaped, and in the emperor's heart, he had already been sentenced to death in advance.

That's exactly what Li Chun thinks.

Sure enough, the emperor was furious, and even sent a secret order to the guards.

Catch, all over the world, dig three feet into the ground to catch people back. Find someone, and if they are willing to disarm themselves, bring them back. If you resist, you don't care if you live or die!

Quite simply, the emperor was afraid.

Again under the nose. And his own secret guards can't hold him, which shows how far his strength has become.

And this time, the emperor saw that his son had splashed dirty water on himself and calculated himself.

Since he chose to fake his death, what are he doing with dirty water, and what is there to do when he is full? So, he has only one purpose. There is only one possibility.

Explanation: On a day that will soon come, he will use this incident to rebel. Otherwise, there is no need for him to make such a miserable end where his family is ruined, his wife is separated, and he is angry and resentful, and he has to fake his death in front of everyone......

If someone wants to rebel, how can the emperor not be nervous?

Indeed, the fire in King Jue's Mansion came too violently, and too many people saw King Jue fall from the high pillar into the sea of fire, so the rumors were already the same as the fire, and they couldn't be contained at all.

All over the capital knew that King Jue and the two little imperial grandsons, as well as many people in King Jue's mansion, were set on fire and burned alive.

In view of the fact that Princess Dou came out of the side door; The body of the house who was violated and committed suicide by throwing himself into a well; Wei Hong's misery and King Jue's accusations before his "death", many people believe that the murderer is the emperor.

As for the reason: it is said that the emperor is suspicious and violent, and when he saw that the eldest son's strength was becoming more and more mature and he refused to retreat, he became murderous; It is said that King Jue held the emperor's handle, and the emperor deliberately investigated and persecuted him thoroughly, and he couldn't get the handle back, so he could only kill him;

It is said that too many people were implicated in the process of this thorough investigation of King Jue's mansion, but King Jue still did not admit his guilt, and the emperor originally wanted to force him to bow his head, but it was self-defeating, and the fire was out of control and caused a catastrophe;

It is also said that Wei Hong went in and out of the palace a while ago, but in fact, the child she was pregnant with was not King Jue's, but the emperor's. King Jue knew about this and took the emperor, and the emperor asked for a thorough investigation of King Jue for the sake of face and imperial prestige, and wanted to force his son to shut up......

Seven or eight kinds of rumors spread in one day, and each of them was vividly and vividly. It is also said that the culprit is the crown prince, everything is planned by the prince, and the emperor is used without knowing it, but he killed his son and grandson......

In short, every rumor is aimed at the emperor's reputation. He was portrayed as a cold, suspicious, brutal, ruthless, useless, incompetent, shameless, unable to distinguish between right and wrong, reckless in his actions, disregarding family affection, and inhumane.

However, this is not what makes the emperor the most angry.

But after Zhu Changjue's fire, the previous thorough investigation had to be stopped.

And ninety percent of those complaints cannot be tried, without the defendant, and even the possible direct evidence has been burned up, what else is there to try?

So much so that the emperor's original plan to seize power and suppress many old clans and officials through thorough investigation had to be stopped.

Even the Dou family, the Miao family and their family, who were left behind by Zhu Changjue, couldn't do it.

These husbands who have lost their children, and even their homes are gone, and everyone is a tragic victim, when this kind of rumor is spreading more and more, if the emperor still attacks them, won't the rumor be implemented?

So the emperor had to treat them well!

The emperor was deflated, knowing that his eldest son was alive and well, but he couldn't catch anyone, how could he prove it?

This feeling is really disgusting like being fed a fly.
