Chapter Seventy-Three: Five Steps to Blood Splattering

Zhu Jin and the others were silent, still not knowing what medicine was sold in Zhang Anshi's gourd.

But at this moment, there was a sudden boom.

The earth shook.

This place is at least five hundred steps away from Shenjiazhuang, but I can still feel the thunderous sound.

Distance...... A cloud of fire and smoke rose.

At this moment, Zhu Jin's brain was buzzing, you know, in the past two months, he has been shocked several times, and today is the third time.

Fuck ...... They really dare to do anything!

Subconscious ...... Zhu Jin felt that his knees were weak again.

Then he snapped and knelt directly at Zhang Anshi's feet: "Childe is really amazing." ”

The other stewards and businessmen were also as pale as earth, and they bowed down one after another and said, "Little ...... The villain admires ......"

Their only thought is that this person is very difficult to mess with, he is a crazy person, he can do anything!

Of course, the most important thing is that the other party's background is really unfathomable, and I dare not offend.

Zhang Anshi only smiled at this time, and was silent.

……………

At this time, Shenjiazhuang was already in chaos.

The nearby county government also seems to be alarmed.

Soon, from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, to Ying Tianfu, and even the cavalry of Jinyiwei, they also began to haunt.

It's serious, it's too serious to end.

Subsequently...... An official from Ying Tianfu appeared at the Shen family, and immediately after, this person took a horse and hurried to the East Palace.

Someone in Tianfu asked to see the prince.

When Zhu Gaochi heard Ying Tianfu, he was very surprised.

Although he is the crown prince, occasionally Zhu Di will ask him some opinions on national affairs, but after all, the prince cannot personally take care of the details, and Zhu Gaochi will try his best to dissociate himself from the people of Ying Tianfu in order to avoid suspicion.

Now suddenly a person who claimed to be Ying Tianfu Mansion Cheng and named Zhou Jing came to visit, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help frowning slightly, but he still called the person over.

"Minister...... I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "Zhou Jing is a mansion, which is equivalent to the adjutant of Ying Tianfu Yin.

Zhu Gaochi looked careless and said, "What happened to Duke Zhou?" ”

Zhou Jing looked at the eunuch beside the prince vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the prince, can you take a step to speak." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaochi felt that things were very strange, he made up his mind, and felt that he would listen to it first.

So he stood up and led the men to a small hall beside him.

This small hall is the hunting room of the East Palace, which is relatively remote, mainly furnished with some bows and arrows, as well as some leather goods from hunting.

Zhu Di loves hunting, and Zhu Gaochi is not keen on it, just to please Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi will do the same.

After entering, Zhu Gaochi turned his back to Zhou Jing, his eyes fell on the finch painting bow hanging on the wall, and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

At this time, Zhou Jingcai said: "Your Highness, just now, someone blew up Qixia Shenzhuang." ”

"Which Shen family?"

"In the Song Dynasty, there were two scholars, and most of the descendants were officials, and in the Yuan Dynasty, they were even included in the court class, and to my Ming Dynasty, the famous Qixia Shen family."

Zhu Gaochi was surprised when he heard this: "His ancestor also had the Shen family that had "Shangshu Xinyi". Who did it when such a family was bombed? ”

The minister received the report, and immediately rushed to Shen's house to check, it was a mess, half of the Zhuangzi was about to be burned, and fourteen people were killed and wounded, mostly guards. Your Highness...... This Shen family...... But the famous family...... The minister found out that the gunpowder used by the murderers was the same as the gunpowder used against the Han Wang Wei Baihu last time, and the gunpowder was very powerful, but the minister did not know it...... How did the murderer put this gunpowder into Zhuangzi, but because of the great power, the Shen family was left with only ruins and broken walls, which was very miserable. ”

Zhu Gaochi listened to it and said, "It has something to do with the three murderers in the capital?" ”

"Exactly, the minister also inquired that the three murderers in the capital were released today...... And...... The minister also heard that it was the ...... who went to greet them out of prison Cheng Enbo Zhang Anshi...... The minister asked about one person...... Said that Cheng Enbo was haunting the neighborhood, and the man ...... I was very frightened, because I had seen Cheng Enbo before, so I recognized it. ”

Zhu Gaochi's heart was cold when he heard this.

He looked at Zhou Jing and said hurriedly, "Apart from him, does anyone else know?" ”

Zhou Jingdao: "When the minister inquired at that time, he felt that something was wrong, so he sent him away, and as for the person who inquired, the minister had given him some silver, sent him away, and told him not to be quiet. As for the others...... The minister asked the messenger to investigate carefully, but there were no other clues. ”

Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief: "You did a good job." ”

Listening to the prince's praise, Zhou Jing laughed, and then said, "It's just ...... The minister came here, but there was some advice to tell. ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "You say." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Cheng Enbo's son...... His Majesty has great expectations for His Royal Highness the Prince, but once he learns that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince connived at his relatives and relatives, he is afraid that he will be greatly disappointed. ”

Zhu Gaochi frowned: "How do you want this palace?" ”

Zhou Jingdao: "Although no outsiders know about this matter now, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be leaked in the future." At that time, how should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deal with himself? Your Majesty is jealous and hateful, and if His Highness conceals and protects it, how disappointed will he be. ”

After a pause, Zhou Jing said again: "So the minister's suggestion is that His Royal Highness should take advantage of this time to expose Zhang Anshi, so that since he has completely dissociated himself from Zhang Anshi, even if he causes any more trouble in the future, it will have nothing to do with His Highness." ”

"His Royal Highness is a rare benevolent prince in the world, and the hopes of thousands of subjects are maintained on His Highness, and His Royal Highness must not invite trouble because of a small Zhang Anshi."

As he spoke, Zhou Jing cautiously observed Zhu Gaochi's face.

Obviously, he had come to take refuge.

Although he is only a small mansion, the prince will never look at him more on weekdays.

But this time it was an opportunity, on the one hand, he had the evidence of Zhang Anshi's crime, but he hid it, which was tantamount to giving His Royal Highness the crown prince a meeting gift.

On the other hand, he expressed his bitterness and hoped that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would take this opportunity to expose Zhang Anshi, so as to show his wisdom.

After all...... There is a hidden danger of instability around the prince, which is equivalent to adding a lot of variables to the future contention.

He believed that the crown prince might accept his advice, after all, the throne was more important than a small brother-in-law.

You must know that in all dynasties, how many princes and grandsons killed each other for the throne, father and son, and brother killed each other.

As long as the prince takes the suggestion and takes the initiative to ask the emperor for guilt, he will have the initiative, and the emperor will not only not implicate the prince because of Zhang Anshi, but will think that the prince is upright and has no selfish thoughts.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi glanced back at Zhou Jing in surprise: "Do you want this palace to do this?" ”

Zhou Jing said: "Everyone in the world hopes that His Highness will do this. ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "The people of the world ......"

"Your Highness, when you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it. Please also think twice, Your Highness......"

Zhu Gaochi groaned: "What you said is not unreasonable, it's just ...... Hongu asks you, seriously...... No one else in the world knows about it? ”

Zhou Jing said confidently: "Your Highness, rest assured, the ministers are meticulous, and as soon as they arrived at the place, they began to investigate carefully, and even preempted Jinyiwei......"

He said that here he is......

Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi, who was facing away from him, suddenly turned around his fat body.

At the same time, Zhu Gaochi's hand was holding an iron arrow drawn from the quiver in the hunting room.

The iron arrow was like a dagger, and it was held by Zhu Gaochi to death.

The next moment, Zhu Gaochi raised the iron arrow high, and just when Zhou Jing was still bent over, the sharp blade of the arrow slashed into Zhou Jing's side neck.

"Uh...... Uh......" Zhou Jing's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Zhu Gaochi incredulously.

He didn't see any hideousness and anger on Zhu Gaochi's face.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi was afraid and timid.

Zhu Gaochi was still holding the pole of the arrow, and his hands were trembling desperately.

"Temple...... Your Highness ......"

Zhu Gaochi's face turned pale.

This arrow pierced down, and all his courage had been exhausted.

When he saw the blood, his courage suddenly vanished and was replaced by ...... It's the cramps in the abdomen that are about to gag, and the fear.

He killed.

First killing.

Zhu Gaochi is a kind person, although when Zhu Di was martyred, Zhu Gaochi stayed in Beiping and was besieged by the military horses of the imperial court.

But in fact, he has always been protected, and there are countless military generals who stayed in Beiping around him to serve him, even his biological mother, Empress Xu, who personally wore the castle tower to guard the city.

Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son, stayed in the Beiping Palace, only responsible for logistics and scheduling.

Now...... It was Zhu Gaochi's first murder, and with such a close distance, he could clearly see the pain and distortion on Zhou Jing's face.

I saw blood begin to ooze from the wounds of the arrows.

Zhu Gaochi's face was frightened, and he sat down on the ground.

At this time, Zhou Jing had also fallen, his body was still twitching and squirming, his mouth was foaming blood, and he was breathing heavily, mixed with his unwilling voice: "Temple...... Your Highness...... Why...... Why ......"

Zhu Gaochi, whose face was bloodless, just wanted to vomit, he sat down on the ground, kicking his legs desperately, as if he wanted to kick Zhou Jing's body away, but he quickly ...... He found that Zhou Jing was not dead.

So Zhu Gaochi restrained the fear in his heart, almost like a dog crawling, slowly crawled towards Zhou Jing, and then held the arrow shaft with both hands and pulled it back fiercely.

The arrow is pulled out.

Blood arrows erupted.

Zhu Gaochi didn't feel relaxed, he only looked at Zhou Jing on the ground with blank eyes, looking at the blood stains sprinkled on his body.

Vomit...... Vomit......

Zhu Gaochi finally couldn't bear it anymore and vomited filth from his mouth.

The smell of blood and filth mingled.
