Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally unwilling to let go of the clue in front of him, and insisted on asking: "What is the matter of this matter, the public opinion of the country is not very clear, if you wait to know the details of this room, it is better to talk to the public of the country." ”

The maid who had just been born to respond only then noticed the gesture of her companion maid, and her heart was suddenly shocked, and she naturally understood the maid's intentions. Thinking of Cui'er's death in my heart, it is quite suspicious, and there is a lot of gossip in the mansion, if I agree to Wu Guogong to tell this matter at this moment, I am afraid that I will offend some people in the mansion who cannot afford to offend.

Thinking of this, the maid felt speechless, but compared to other maids, she was a better talent. Now seeing Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang asking so aggressively, his intuition is frightened, and he is about to be a little overwhelmed.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang saw the maid's situation, he took a step forward, grabbed the front hem of the maid's shirt and asked, "Girl, have you heard about something, if you know the details of this matter, you must not hide it." In any case, the matter should be reported to the public of the country. ”

The maid was so frightened that her face was colorless, and she turned her face to look at the maid and Ma Xiuying on the side, her eyes were full of helplessness, and she looked like she was begging for help.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang waited on one side, and the maid standing next to her didn't dare to say much, not to mention that these things were just warned by Zhu Yuanzhang, Wu Guogong, even if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything to prohibit her from speaking at the moment, the maid next to her was also taboo in her heart, and she didn't dare to speak indiscriminately in front of Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's just that he still can't bear to be so embarrassed by the maid he usually befriends with him, so he quietly pointed to his mouth and waved his palm at the maid a few times.

The meaning of this move is very obvious, that is, to signal the maid not to speak indiscriminately, if this matter is said, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it for myself and others, and I will also involve myself in this extremely difficult matter, I am afraid that the trouble will continue in the future, and I will not be able to get rid of it.

What's more, Cui'er's death, Mrs. Ma's poisoning, and the adultery between Xu Biyi and Ye Wenqing earlier, if you easily step into this matter, I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed in the future.

Although the maid did not change enough, looking at the gestures of the maid on the side, she naturally understood that these things were very likely to happen. The maid is not a foolish person, and after thinking about it slightly, she naturally understands the key points.

After understanding this, the maid hurriedly said to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guogong, who asked him about it: "Wu Guogong, the slave and maid are talking nonsense, Wu Guogong, don't punish the slave and maid, don't say that the slave and maid heard about those things, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”

For these things, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understands very well, even if the maid avoids it, but Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, vaguely feels from the maid's flustered demeanor that she must know something, but there is a big obstacle in the meantime, and she is unwilling to say it to herself in the here and now.

What do these maids know, but they know how Cui'er died. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but have some doubts about this, and such a thought appeared in his heart, but soon Zhu Yuanzhang dispelled this thought, Zhu Yuanzhang understood that if these maids knew how Cui'er died, they would inevitably talk about Ma Xiuying, but in the past few days, because of Ma Xiuying's poisoning, he has been there several times, but he has not seen Ma Xiuying say anything, which also shows that Ma Xiuying does not know how her personal maid Cui'er died.

Since Ma Xiuying didn't know about this, these maids must not know how Cui'er died. With Ma Xiuying's generous and benevolent temperament, I think that her maidservants would never hide such a major matter from her.

Thinking about it this way, the things that the maids know must not be Cui'er's death, so what else do these maids know besides? Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious in his heart, and felt that it was extremely necessary to dig deep into this matter, and maybe he would dig into something he didn't expect.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang had such a thought in his heart, and he naturally wanted to know what was going on, and was about to question again, but he saw Ma Xiuying say out loud: "There is no need to investigate this matter now, Wu Guogong, you killed Xu Biyi today, but you made a big mistake." ”

Ma Xiuying's words at the head of the pocket were just like a shock, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be stunned, Xu Biyi was executed today, and naturally there was some selfishness in it, after all, no man can tolerate his wife and concubine Hongxing going out of the wall.

The last time he caught Xu Biyi and Ye Wen's private affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang had already intended to divorce Xu Biyi, but he was afraid of the attitude of Xu Biyi's brother Xu Da, who was outside the army, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, wrote a secret letter and threw stones to ask for directions, thinking of getting a glimpse of Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude. But I didn't expect to wait for Xu Da's reply, but waited for Chu Liuyan. The original story of this matter is very tortuous, Xu Da naturally understands the deep meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's move, but he is in a foreign country, and he is extremely isolated from the situation in Wu Guogong's mansion, and it is inconvenient to come to Wu Guogong's mansion to deal with this matter in person, so he entrusts Chu Liuyan.

Thinking about it now, if Chu Liuyan failed to come forward to say something that day, it is very likely that Xu Da might drive his troops into the city and ask for justice for his sister-in-law.

If the situation develops to that point, I don't know how many people will suffer. Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, and suddenly felt hair all over his body. Trembling, I originally thought that I could restrain Xu Da safely, but I didn't care enough, but now I think about it, this matter is still extremely dangerous, if it really angers Xu Da, I'm afraid the situation is extremely difficult to control.

Could it be that he is really playing with fire, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask himself. Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally extremely indignant about this incident of Xu Biyi and the actor Ye Wen carrying themselves behind their backs and secretly committing adultery.

Who is the wife and concubine fornicating, this matter is a great damage to the dignified Wu Guogong, whether it is face or others. After this incident, Zhu Yuanzhang took many measures to close the news and prevent the scandal of this family from being publicized, but there were many servants in the mansion of Duke Wu, and everyone was leisurely. Although time has passed, but the rumors about this matter have spread somewhat, for such things, Zhu Yuanzhang feels that he has suffered the greatest shame in his life.

Therefore, although under Xu Da's coercion and Chu Liuyan's agreement, Zhu Yuanzhang was determined not to take Xu Biyi off, but for Xu Biyi, Zhu Yuanzhang already had a headache and hatred, so much so that he had never even seen Xu Biyi's face.

Xu Biyi didn't know it, until she was in a trance, she was irritable and hurt others, so others were reluctant to approach her. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't come to visit, Xu Biyi only thought it was the reason, but she didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, had long been disgusted with her in her heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally felt that Xu Biyi had committed seven rules and could not tolerate her continuing to be his concubine, but due to external forces and consideration of the overall situation, Zhu Yuanzhang finally accepted Chu Liuyan's opinion and stopped Xu Biyi. Such a move that day was actually against his will, and after that, he ignored Xu Biyi and left him to fend for himself.

Now listening to Ma Xiuying say that he made a big mistake, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what was going on, so he could only ask Ma Xiuying out loud: "What does Madame mean by this, forgive my father-in-law for being stupid, I don't know the true meaning of Madame's words, and I ask Mrs. to confess a thing or two for my father-in-law." For things he doesn't understand, Zhu Yuanzhang is humble and asks for advice, even his wife is no exception, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang is not at all concerned. The same is true for outsiders, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong was able to do the position of Wu Guogong is quite beneficial in this matter.

Ma Xiuying smiled slightly and said: "Wu Guogong really doesn't know or not, right now, even a blind person can tell these things clearly." Wu Guogong executed Marshal Xu Da's sister-in-law, what would Marshal Xu Da think, if Marshal Xu Da was not angry in his heart, he would definitely not be able to swallow this breath. Wu Guogong, please think about it, if things turn out like this, how will Marshal Xu Da choose. ”

"There is a choice between this and how to choose, it is not possible for Xu Da to rebel." Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Ma Xiuying's tone hesitantly, and he didn't reply angrily.

"That's right, what Wu Guogong said is very true, General Xu Da is very likely to rebel, Wu Guogong, please think about it, if General Xu Da is so forbearant and refuses to seek justice for his sister, then the brother-sister friendship is not empty talk." Ma Xiuying said in defense to Wu Guogong and Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Hehe, this is not without consideration, Xu Da and his sister-in-law Xu Biyi's affection is not shallow, but if the country's duke did not intentionally kill Xu Da's sister-in-law, but should be the reason for the people's hearts to do so, I believe Xu Da will not blame me too much, for this point the duke is still well aware, after all, I played with Xu Da to a big friend, even if he didn't say this to me personally, but I can really be sure of this. If I thought of justice and had no choice but to execute Xu Biyi, Xu Da would not have rebelled even if he was sad, and his father had already thought about this matter for a long time, and it would definitely not surprise his father. ”

Ma Xiuying was surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang was already thinking about this move, not as hasty as she thought about it in the latest, could it be that Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Xu Biyi not because of a sudden thought when he was arguing with Xu Biyi today, but a deep premeditation like a grass snake gray line.

Ma Xiuying thought of this in her heart, and suddenly felt that Zhu Yuanzhang in front of her was not what she thought before, and it was very likely that these things had been planned in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart for a long time. Could it be that Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's killing intent towards Xu Biyi was not two people a day, but had long been hidden.

Such thoughts lingered in Ma Xiuying's heart, and she only felt that her heart was getting colder and colder, as if the doors and windows of the flower hall had not been closed, and she only felt that her body was a little slight. Tremble.

"Xiuying doesn't know what Wu Guogong means by the fairness of people's hearts, and what it has to do with Xu Biyi's matter." Ma Xiuying forcibly suppressed the chill in her heart, walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, raised her head and looked directly at this Zhu Yuanzhang and said loudly.

"Doesn't Mrs. know that Xu Biyi, that slut, actually stared at the fetus in Li Ningluo's womb with malicious intentions, and actually viciously designed to kill the fetus in Li Ningluo's womb alive. Such ruthless and vicious methods, this kind of vicious and evil heart, how can a dignified wife and concubine of the prince of the country do, the prince of the country gave Xu Biyi a three-foot white silk to make her commit suicide, which is already considered to be benevolent and righteous. Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth to Ma Xiuying with some indignation.

"Wu Guogong's words are wrong, what is the matter, I am afraid it is not clear at the moment. Wu Guogong, you are preconceived, but whether this matter is like this or not, it remains to be proved by others, if you just rely on one-sided words, you can judge whether this matter is or not, Xiuying is only afraid that Wu Guogong will miss a millimeter, and it will be wrong. These words were not originally what Xiuying should have said, but for me, Sister Biyi has always been Sister Biyi, and in my mind, Sister Biyi would never do such a thing that is contrary to human morality. Ma Xiuying still said in defense of Xu Biyi.

"Okay, okay, what you said, the prince already knows, if the lady thinks that she has to go to see Xu Biyi's body, the prince can also be gracious, but the lady must not stay too long." Zhu Yuanzhang was half comforting, half admonishing and said to Ma Xiuying.

Zhu Yuanzhang said this kind of thing, but it had no effect on Ma Xiuying, and Ma Xiuying still said unrelentingly: "I will definitely go to see the corpse of Xu Biyi's sister, but according to my opinion, these things are definitely not important things for Wu Guogong." The most important thing at the moment is how to prevent Xu Da from rioting, if Xu Da is dissatisfied with Wu Guogong's handling and leads troops to attack, I am afraid that Yingtian City will not be able to stand it for even three days. Wu Guogong can't care about such a thing. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Ma Xiuying's admonition, but he was extremely worried, originally Zhu Yuanzhang did not worry about this matter, it should be because in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, Xu Da will definitely not defeat the formation, even if the naval fleet of Hanyang on the river is extremely powerful, but according to Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, if he can cross the river to intercept the water fierce general under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, it must be quite easy, because there are several iron chains blocking the river on the Jiangmen, if these iron chains can play a role, even if the Han army is doubled, it can be managed to ensure that it will not come back. In any case, the artillery fire on the river bank does not know the arrangement, and the naval camp is also extremely strong, if the two are coordinated, even if the Han army and the naval division are swarmed up, they can bombard the soldiers of the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, and flee in embarrassment.

Zhu Yuanzhang had long pinned his fate on the iron chains with the thick mouths of the bowls intercepted by the Hengjiang River and the indestructible shore artillery set up at a high place by the naval division camp on the bank of the river.

"Madame don't have to worry about this, although the Han army sailors under the command of Han King Chen Youliang relied on the huge ships and went on a rampage, they didn't take Ying Tian's sailors in their eyes at all. However, even if he could not face the enemy head-on, he would have no problem with sitting on the shore artillery and eliminating the Han army and naval division under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han. The camp of my Ying Tianshui Division is also extremely strong, resisting the impact of the Han warships, no matter what, the naval shore artillery and the iron lock across the river are the gates of hell for the Han Army Naval Division under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, no matter what warship, there is no way to easily break through the defense line and go deep into the belly of my Ying Tianshui Division. ”

Ma Xiuying listened carefully for a while, then lowered her head and pondered for a long time, and suddenly raised her head and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wu Guogong, although the fleet cannot rush through the interception of the iron chain for a while, but Wu Guogong, please think about it, if the enemy no longer relies on ships, but has a different way, let people break the iron lock of Qianxun blocking the river first, and when it is, the Han army sailors under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang rushed up, I am afraid that the shore artillery will not have time to overturn their boats, and the opponent's sailors may have to attack the location of the shore artillery." At that time, does it mean that the impregnable defense line built by Ying Tian on this side will be breached, and what can be used to resist the attack on the military and naval divisions. ”

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this, and secretly screamed in his heart, and then changed to Ma Xiuying and said: "What Madame said is not unreasonable, this kind of strategy is also impossible to prevent, although the Qianxun iron lock is powerful, after all, it is a dead thing, and it can block the way of the Han army's naval fleet under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, but there is no way to crack all the methods to attack it one by one, if the Han army sailors under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang really send soldiers to break the idea of the iron lock on the river, it is not easy to resist." ”

Ma Xiuying saw Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's face was dark, and her eyes were even more uncertain, and she also understood that Zhu Yuanzhang must be worried about the iron lock on the river, and felt that she had to say the words underground: "At present, Marshal Xu Da is in command of the army, resisting the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, at this time Wu Guogong killed his sister Xu Biyi, if Marshal Xu Da heard about this, he was slack, and he was not very attentive to resisting the Han army's sailors, Xiuying was only afraid that Ying Tian's water division was in danger, and Ying Tian was also in danger. ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, and couldn't help frowning tightly, these things are really extremely difficult to deal with for Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel a little regretful, he shouldn't have killed Xu Biyi in such a hurry, and now there is no trump card in his hand to order and restrain Xu Da who is out of command. ”

"This is one of them, if General Xu Da has the heart to defect to the enemy, it will be even more terrifying." Ma Xiuying suddenly confided in Zhu Yuanzhang in an alarmist manner.

Although the words were light, they hit Zhu Yuanzhang's heart like an iron hammer, making Zhu Yuanzhang's body tremble.

"Will Xu Da turn his back on me and turn to the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han?" Zhu Yuanzhang had a big mystery in his heart.

However, with a maid on one side in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he couldn't show this meaning, so he had to mention it hypocritically: "What kind of person is Xu Da, how can he be like those spineless villains." ”
