Chapter 212: Madness

"Yes....it's the one who harmed our young master...."Ah Si said in a low voice.

Zhu Chunming? Gu Bainiang only felt that her breath was stagnant.

"Did you hear me wrong? There are not many words," Gu Banniang asked in disbelief.

"Really, really, I spent a tael of silver to inquire about it from the concierge of the scholar's house in the East Street Bureau...."Ah Si jumped to his feet and said.

"How is this possible...."Gu Bainiang muttered, still full of disbelief.

If the curse can be fulfilled, Zhu Chunming doesn't know how many times he has died, and there are many people who want him to die, and there are many assassins who have succeeded him year after year, but Zhu Chunming is very strict against this, and he lives in Beijing, rarely goes out, even if he goes out, there are countless guards and secret guards around him, and it is really not so easy to want him to die.

What's more, in the capital city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, when the first rank of the dynasty was assassinated, it was a big joke in the world.

"Let's go out and inquire again...."Gu Banniang said.

"Yes, Miss." Ah Si immediately responded, with a smile on his face, and lowered his voice, "Miss, it's good that this old guy is dead, no one will bully our young master now..."

Gu Ba Niang was in a daze.

"Wait." She looked solemn and called Ah Si, who was about to withdraw, "Strictly order anyone in the family to go out, not to inquire about any news, if there is a violator, immediately expel and sell"

Ah Si was stunned, and didn't understand why she suddenly changed her mind, and looked at Gu Eighteen Niang's expression as if she was joking, and she didn't dare to ask more.

"By the way, go and bring the Lingbao back," Gu Bainiang said again.

Ah Si hurriedly went out and conveyed the order.

Gu Bainiang sat in the room, her expression became heavier and heavier, echoing the news of Ah Si repeatedly, and then thinking of the noise last night, it is certain that this news is true nine times out of ten.

Zhu Chunming....assassinated? Was it a shock or an injury? Or....dead?

In any case, this means that the capital is about to set off a bloody storm, and taking the opportunity to eliminate different parties is the most useful means of the Zhu party, and it has never been the habit of the Zhu family to suffer dumb losses.

And Gu Hai is a different party in the eyes of the Zhu Party, this time, will it .....

Gu Banniang's hand couldn't help but clench.

The door of the Gu family was plugged in, and the corner door that was originally open was also carefully closed by the two courtyards, making a snapping sound, indicating that it was tied from the inside.

At this time, the street sensed the unusual smell in the air, and the pedestrians unconsciously shrank their shoulders and sleeves, and quickened their pace, and the merchants poked their heads out of the shops, but they did not dare to whisper, and watched in horror as a group of heavily armed guards galloped through the street.

"Noisy....this kind of thing didn't happen two or three times that year..... dad had dozens of people placed around him, both openly and secretly, and even a fly couldn't fly in....." Zhu Yang lifted his scarlet cloak, and was hugged by his subordinates with a little impatience to go out, with a cruel smile on his face, "This time it was the old department of the group of dead ghosts Ye really did it, right?" It's okay to make a lot of mistakes, thank them, I'm worried that there are a few unpleasant guys who can't deal with it."

The "eldest young master" stumbled into a guard head-on, his face was like gold paper, "My lord....no...."

“？” As soon as these words came out, the people in the courtyard were stunned.

"What nonsense are you talking about" Zhu Yang was furious, raised his foot and kicked the guard twice, and an irrepressible panic suddenly surged in his heart.

The guard kowtowed, his eyes showing horror, and the blood-red once again showed the nightmare scene of last night.

This time it was one of the few times that Zhu Chunming had left the capital in the past years, and not many people knew the news, and when everyone thought that Lord Zhu was still living in the county office, Lord Zhu's motorcade was about to enter the capital.

But when the convoy passed through a forest, a mutation suddenly occurred.

Black shadows flew out of the forest, and at the same time, the arrows broke through the air, and the guards on the left and right immediately fell.

The sword is unsheathed, and the horse neighses.

"There are assassins"

Zhu Chunming's team did not become chaotic because of this, but quickly changed the formation and guarded the two carriages tightly.

Through the bright torches, you can see more than a dozen people pouring out from both sides, all wrapped in black, covered with black scarves, and only a pair of eyes are exposed, completely dressed as killers.

"Kill" the guards shouted loudly, flashing their bright bows and arrows aimed at these outlaws.

Seeing that the guards of the forbidden army were in danger, the dozen or so killers did not panic, and one of the leaders stretched out his finger and pointed to the two carriages enclosed in the north.

"Hoeing and punishing evil, the world is fair," he shouted.

With this shout, more than a dozen people shouted out at the same time, and rushed straight towards the forbidden army like moths, intending to kill a bloody way.

These people moved quickly and were well-founded, and they were quite similar to these highly trained forbidden troops.

The "killing" guards formed a formation, like a net covering these moths that pounced.

The sound of swords sounded, and blood splattered.

Half of the swooping killers fell in the crash, but half of them rushed through the line and pounced on one of the carriages.

Suddenly, the carriage was surrounded by ghosts emerging from the ground, and with a buzzing sound, spears shot out from the rear of the convoy like meteors, piercing the approaching people, and the force was so great that they flew backwards, and they were firmly nailed to the trees beside them.

This scene was extremely shocking, and in the blink of an eye, the killer who approached the carriage was dead.

The surrounding forbidden troops were expressionless, forming a circle and rushing towards the remaining killers, and everyone's attention was focused on these killers.

A figure appeared in front of one of the carriages, and a cold snort piercing the bone marrow made him streak.

"Stay around." Ling Yuan said in a low voice.

The threat faded slightly.

"Yes, young master...."Someone replied in a low voice, before his words fell, he saw Ling Yuan raise his hand fiercely, and a spear pierced into the carriage.

With the thud of the carriage being punctured, a scream rang from inside.

This unexpected action made the people around him stunned for a moment, and taking advantage of this moment, Lingyuan used both hands to shatter the carriage door.

"Let's go" The killer on the periphery saw that he did not take the opportunity to flee for his life, but went to check the carriage, and immediately shouted.

The "adults" forbidden army could no longer care about these killers, and rushed over with a loud shout, and more than a dozen figures suddenly surged around the car, and the person closest to Ling Yuan flicked a sharp blade in his hand, with a cruel meaning, and slashed into Ling Yuan's back.

Ling Yuan snorted, but did not dodge, but took advantage of the situation to pounce into the carriage, and the smell of blood was strong.

Zhu Chunming, who was dressed in an official robe, was pierced through the chest by a spear, his eyes were wide open, and he held a spear that pierced his body in his hand.

"You... You... Brute...."He snorted.

Puff, the sound of the blade piercing into the flesh and blood continued to sound, and in the blink of an eye, Ling Yuan's arms were filled with countless wounds.

Ling Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, his face was full of sadness and joy, and tears and blood flowed down his face.

A spear flashed with cold light and was already aimed at the back of Ling Yuan's heart, and at this moment, a person rushed straight over, blocking the spear with his body, and at the same time, the knife in his hand also pierced the guard's chest.

"Let's go" he tried his best to push Ling Yuan away.

"Where's the dog thief?" Hearing this, Zhu Yang burst out into a night owl crying laughter, which made people shudder when they heard it, "Thousands of knives cut the corpse and shattered the bones, and the bones were scattered"

"Ran away...," replied the guard, shaking.

Zhu Yan's laughter stopped abruptly, and the whole person began to tremble violently.

"Search for me, search for me, if you can't catch these traitors, give me a burial," he raised his hand and let out a beastly roar, and his voice pierced the sky over the entire capital.

"Lingbao is missing?" Gu Bainiang stood up in shock and looked at Ah Si with a pale face.

"Yes...."A Si in the winter had a layer of sweat on her forehead, "The people in the store said that she went out after work last night, thinking that she was going home, but she didn't come today, and people are still wondering what happened...."

It was he who did it, Gu Bainiang only felt a bang in her ears, and couldn't help but sit down on the chair.

"Miss?" Ah Si was startled.

Gu Bainiang waved her hand and motioned for him to go out first.

"Ah Si...."She called him again and whispered, "Do you know that Lingbao has a brother?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Lingbao has an elder brother, and most of the servants who came with him from Jiankang know about it, but the second young master of the Zhu family is Lingyuan, and only their family and Ah Si know about it.

Ah Si had already vaguely guessed the relationship between them, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"The little ones know." He said, "However, it's a pity that I was sold because of my betting, and I really don't know where I am so far..."

Gu Bainiang nodded, "Okay, you go down, if someone comes to ask Lingbao, you..."

"Miss Lingbao is not a slave of our family, she originally lived in our house, but now she has found a livelihood and has moved out for a few days, as for her whereabouts, we really don't know..."

Gu Bainiang nodded, "Yes, Lingbao hasn't come back for a few days, let people look for it, and if they can't find it, they will go to report to the official...."

Ah Si responded yes and bowed his head and went out.

The room was quiet again, so quiet that she could barely hear Gu Banniang's breathing.

Lunatic... Lunatic.....

Gu Bainiang's hand clenched, and slammed it down on the table, again and again, and the muffled thrashing sound echoed in the room for a long time.

Zhu Chunming's attack and death quickly dispersed, setting off a storm in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor was angry, the Zhu family was angry, because there were murderers who escaped, so they set off a three-foot search around the capital, whether it was ordinary people or high-ranking officials and princes' homes, they were not allowed to resist the search, this is an unprecedented thing, highlighting the emperor's distress and anger at Zhu Chunming's attack, and constantly people were arrested and imprisoned as fellow party members, these people were basically those Qingliu officials and scribes who were against the Zhu family, For a time, everyone in the capital was in danger, whether it was a high-ranking official or a princely family, they were all cautious, just afraid of being implicated by the opportunity.

"Catch all these people, but they don't do it themselves, and they curse my father all the time in their hearts," Zhu Yan threw out the list handed by his subordinates.

The list was quickly handed over and sent to the emperor, who had not asked about political affairs for a long time, sat on the dragon bed and listened to the prince beside him read them one by one.

"Lang Ningjiang, the right attendant of the household department, Wang Weixing, the left attendant of the military department, and Zheng Tong, the right attendant of the criminal department..."

"....Lizhou Zhixian Gu Hai....." Wang Ziwei's voice paused slightly to pronounce the name.

The Emperor frowned slightly.

"Lizhou?" He opened his eyes, with a little helplessness, waved his hand, and muttered, "This is too obvious....".

It's naked and cleaned....

"Hook this..."The emperor said, "He Gu Hai is far away in Lizhou, and he is not so capable of reaching out to the capital... Now the important thing is to find out the murderer and the behind-the-scenes, don't fix those useless ....."

Prince Wei nodded and bowed yes, a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes.
