Erhu said goodbye to Lao Zhu and went straight to the place where Wang De was held, and got a confession half an hour later, leaving only Wang De with a blue nose and swollen face, hiding in the dark room and crying.

When Erhu returned to Lao Zhu's bedroom, Lao Zhu was already thinking about the list handed over by the Criminal Department.

Lao Zhu saw Erhu coming over and hurriedly beckoned to him.

"Look at this list, there are some strange people!"

Erhu was also stunned after learning of the assassin's request, and the other party went to great lengths to arrest the imperial grandson, but he just wanted to force the imperial court to release the prisoner?

However, the imperial court has not made large-scale arrests of the White Lotus Sect recently.

In the past two years, the imperial court has been too busy with the reform of the new law, where is the time to take care of them?

Besides, the White Lotus Sect has also stopped in the past two years, and it hasn't done anything excessive.

It's just that I occasionally hear that there is a white lotus incense club in a certain place, fooling the believers into donating money and materials.

"Emperor, we haven't arrested anyone recently, have we?"

Lao Zhu also wondered for a while when he heard this, he had recently arrested some officials, but what did these officials have to do with the White Lotus Sect?

"Let's take a look!

"There are also people and criminals arrested by the Jinyi Guard in recent months, you can also take a look and see if there are any suspicious characters."

"We feel that this matter is not simple, maybe we inadvertently caught a very important person, otherwise the White Lotus Sect would not have jumped over the wall in a hurry!"

Hearing this, Erhu nodded, and then took the list handed over by the Criminal Department and checked it carefully.

However, after reading it, he really didn't find any problems, so he could only pick up the list from Jinyiwei and continue to check.

"Emperor, I can't see anything on this list!"

"Even in the past month, there are hundreds of people, and it is difficult to find the one with the problem among these hundreds of people."

Lao Zhu also knew that it was difficult, but he had to try to find it.

If he can't find it, he can only release it according to the other party's request.

"Second Tiger, if you release all the hundreds of people who have been arrested recently, are you Jinyi Guards sure that they will all be watched?"

When the second tiger heard this, he showed embarrassment.

"Difficult!"

"It's hard!"

"It's not three or five people, it's more than three hundred, and even if each person sends ten people to watch, it will cost three thousand

People ......"

"The actions of 3,000 people will inevitably be known by the assassins, and when the time comes, it will kill His Highness, and even ten heads will not be enough to cut off!"

Lao Zhu is much more pessimistic than Erhu, and when he learned that his eldest grandson was kidnapped, he was already ready for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.

"Actually, even if we do exactly what the other party wants, the other party may not release our eldest grandson back!"

"If this matter involves the dispute between the crown prince again, our eldest grandson will be even more unlucky this time!"

When Lao Zhu said this, a fine light suddenly shot out of his eyes.

"Find out who's involved!"

"If our eldest grandson can't come back, all those involved in this matter will be buried!"

"The emperor, including the King of Qin?"

"It's not just Zhu Fan!"

"Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di, Zhu ......"

"Whoever has ever thought of fighting for the throne must die!"

"Shhhh

Erhu gasped when he heard this, and secretly said that the emperor was really angry this time!

But that's fine, only in this way can we deter those little ones and give the emperor a fair!

"Ignorance, understood!"

Just as the two were discussing the case, the voice of a little eunuch came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Fourth Emperor Sun has woken up!"

"Take Him ......"

After Lao Zhu said this, he immediately paused, hesitated slightly, and said outside.

"Forget it, don't scare this kid, let's go over for ourselves!"

Zhu Yunxi woke up from his intoxication and drank with a grunt

A big pot of tea, then I feel more comfortable.

Later, when he heard the Qingluan bird crying out that he was hungry, he hurriedly found some dried fruits to feed it, and helped it comb its feathers by the way.

Until this time, he didn't know that the third brother was missing, and he was even more involved.

"Flying Lao Leng in the blue sky, I look at Jinling from afar on the mountain......

Zhu Yunxi hummed subconsciously, but the body of Lao Zhu, who rushed to it, shook suddenly.

"Lao Leng!"

"What our eldest grandson said about Lao Leng shouldn't mean this, right?"

The second tiger also suddenly realized when he heard this.

"Emperor, I remember my humble position, in the early years, His Royal Highness was calculated by the prince of Qin, and I once listened to a song in a brothel, and this is the song I sang!"

Thinking of this, the two hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed in.

"Zhu Yunxi, what song did you just sing, and who taught it?"

Zhu Yunxi also regained his senses after regaining consciousness, and when he saw Lao Zhu again, he subconsciously felt nervous.

"Grandpa ......"

"This is the grandson who listened to the third brother's occasional humming, so he learned it......

"Grandpa Huang, what about the third brother, doesn't the third brother still have time to see me?"

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Yunxi's clear eyes, and it was easy to tell that he was not lying, he should really not know, but he just happened to be drunk at King Qin's place.

"Your third brother was assassinated!"

"Huh?"

Zhu Yunxi was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and then ran out like a fly without a head, shouting the third brother loudly in his mouth.

Lao Zhu grabbed it, but it attracted Zhu Yunxi's kicking and struggling.

"Get out of here!"

"Don't stop me, I want to see the third brother!"

"Your third brother was kidnapped by the White Lotus Sect after he was assassinated, and you can't see him when you go to his dormitory!"

Zhu Yunxi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then sat on the ground and cried.

Lao Zhu was also very distressed when he saw Zhu Yunxi so sad, but he couldn't care about it so much at this time, so he could only ask ruthlessly.

"Who told you to go to King Qin's Mansion to drink?"

"Why do you suddenly want to see your third brother, who do you want to pass on to you?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Lao Zhu blankly and asked weakly.

"Grandpa Huang, are you suspicious of me?"

"No!"

Zhu Yunxi laughed when he heard this.

"Grandpa Huang, it doesn't matter if you suspect me, my grandson won't be angry."

"I've been going to my second uncle a lot in recent months, and my second uncle is close to the school, and he's still used to me, and he never restricts me, so I go more often."

"A few days ago, Mr. Han was arrested by Jinyiwei's people, saying that he leaked the secrets of the imperial court, I wanted to ask the third brother to intercede, but I couldn't see the third brother's face, today I went to the second uncle's house to complain to the second uncle, and asked the second uncle to enter the palace to intercede for me......

"I don't remember exactly what happened after that, I remember that I drank a lot of alcohol and then ...... Then he went back to the palace......

"That's all?"

"That's all!"

"I really didn't hurt the third brother, even if the third brother had an accident, it wouldn't be my turn to be the emperor's grandson, why should I bother with that effort?"

"I just want to beg the third brother to let Master Han go and let Master Han continue to play with me......

When Lao Zhu heard this, his brows furrowed suddenly.

"Who is Master Han?"

Without waiting for Zhu Yunxi to reply, Erhu rushed to answer on the side.

"Back to the emperor, Master Han's name is Han Qing, he was originally a tribute supervisor in Huizhou, and later became a teacher in the Hope School, and he was very close to the four emperors and grandsons, and won the trust of the four emperors and grandsons!"

"Some time ago, I was arrested because of the Huizhou fraud case, and I suspect that this person is suspected of ventilating and reporting. At the same time, more than a dozen officials from Huizhou were arrested, all of whom were detained in Jinyiwei."

"But they don't do much, at best, they are distributed to serve as military ......."

When Lao Zhu saw Erhu say this, he immediately put down Han Qing's suspicions.

It stands to reason that it is just a charge of distributing and recharging the army, and it should not make the White Lotus Sect make such a big move.

"We got it!"

"Since our eldest grandson has spoken, let's sell our eldest grandson's personal favor and order someone to release this person!"

"No!"

Zhu Yunxi thanked him when he heard this.

"Grandpa Xie Huang, it's just that my grandson is not in the mood to play now, so let's let him be locked up inside."

"When my third brother comes back, it will be okay to release it again."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Yunxi's little head with relief when he heard this.

"Good boy, your third brother really didn't hurt you in vain!"

"Erhu, did you hear me, this person will continue to be locked up, and we will release him when our eldest grandson will come back!"

"No!"

Lao Zhu asked Zhu Yunxi a few more questions, and when he saw that the kid really didn't know anything, he told him to go to sleep quickly, and then led the second tiger back to the Yangxin Palace, and continued to remotely control the people of Jinyiwei and Jingying, and carried out a regional blockade of the entire Gyeonggi area.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night, not only Lao Zhu's sleeplessness, but also the sleeplessness of many people.

When the Beijing camp was frequently moved, the entire capital was alarmed.

Both officials and civilians looked out the window with curiosity and at the army running on the street.

An old couple who had experienced wind and frost and had seen strong winds and waves were also awakened by the movement on the street and lay down in the crack of the door to watch the excitement.

"What's going on?"

"When I fought with Chen Youliang back then, this battle came to an end......

"God knows!"

"It can't be that the old emperor has died, right?"

"Thief!"

"You old man don't want to die, why dare you say anything!"

"Hey, let's just nag a few words at home, and we're afraid of someone going to snitch!"

In fact, many people think so, after all, the old emperor's age is there, and it is possible to die at any time.

After a tense night, many people subconsciously hide a white strip of cloth in their sleeves when they go to court, so that they can cry for the old emperor at any time.

However, when they arrived at the palace, they found that everything was normal in the palace.

It's just that the old emperor seemed to have a little problem, so he hurriedly came out to take a picture, and then announced the cancellation of the early dynasty, so that everyone could hand over the folds if they had something to do.

If it weren't for the fear that outsiders would really think he was dead, Lao Zhu wouldn't even want to show this side.

After Lao Zhu ended the early dynasty, he sat in the Heart Cultivation Hall again and listened to the progress of tracking at any time.

Erhu's side also found the eyewitnesses of the year, drew a portrait of the singer, and sent it to all the officers and soldiers guarding the intersection and waterway, telling them to keep an eye on this person.

The Criminal Department also tried to release a group of people, all of whom had families and mouths, and at first glance, there were no people who had falsified their household registrations.

As for bachelors, prisoners who have no relatives, and prisoners with problems with household registration, Lao Zhu not only did not release any of them, but also ordered people to post lists everywhere, saying that they would be beheaded in three days, and how many criminals would be beheaded every day.

Although Lao Zhu is very worried about the safety of his eldest grandson, he will never be led by the nose.

Even if it is to save people, you must take the absolute initiative!

Killing is his means!

Sure enough, as soon as this list came out, the other side couldn't sit still, and sent another letter through the little beggar, plus a palm.

"Zhu Butcher, if you dare not do it, next time it will be your eldest grandson's dog's head!"

Lao Zhu looked at the words and laughed angrily.

"Tomorrow we will kill a batch and see who can consume whom!"

Hearing this, Erhu hurriedly admonished.

"Emperor, will this irritate the other party?"

"If the other party does something unfavorable to the emperor's grandson, then we will regret it......

Lao Zhu shook his head confidently and said.

"No!"

"For now, we're pretty sure the person organizing this is a woman, yes

It's the White Lotus Holy Maiden that is rumored to be there."

"Women have always been indecisive, and the stronger you are, the more hesitant she becomes!"

"And we've pretty much guessed who she's trying to save."

"The only person in the world who can make the White Lotus Holy Maiden care so much may be Han Lin'er's son, the new Xiao Ming King."

"It's just that we couldn't have imagined that this new Xiao Ming King was actually arrested by us?"

"What do you guess he will be, an official, a businessman, or a member of the country?"

Hearing this, Erhu shook his head and said.

"I can't guess ...... my job."

"However, if the other party can know the content of the list so quickly, and send someone to send the letter back, it should not be far from us, and he hasn't left the capital yet!"

"The lowly has ordered people to spread flying balls above the capital, and search down the river for any suspicious situation."

"As long as the other party makes another move, the lowly official will definitely be able to capture him!"

Lao Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this, revealing a wicked smile.

"Since this demon girl is still in the capital, then things will be easy to handle."

"In a while, a list will be posted outside the Fusi Gate in Beizhen, saying that ten key criminals will be questioned and beheaded at noon tomorrow, and the list will be announced!"

"This ......"

Erhu hesitated for a while when he heard this, but when he thought of Lao Zhu's words just now, he could only agree to it.

"No!"

When Erhu hurriedly went to do this, Lao Zhu met with a few more people.

"Emperor, this is a request from Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei!"

Lao Zhu opened it and saw that tens of thousands of words were densely written on it, and he felt a pain in his head.

"Read it to us!"

Qin Deshun said embarrassedly when he heard this.

"Emperor, the slave doesn't know many words, don't mind if you make a mistake!"

"I guess it's not a big deal, it's just some nonsense."

Qin Deshun opened the fold and took a look, and sure enough, it was all the words.

Xu Hui's ancestors admitted their mistakes and felt that they had no way to teach, which made the third sister break into a big disaster. Later, he said that his father died early, and their brothers and sisters were favored by His Majesty the Emperor, which gave them their current status.

This is a typical game of family affection, hoping to get Lao Zhu's forgiveness.

Then there is a series of facts, reasoning, saying that his family is deeply favored by the emperor and will definitely not do anything that harms the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

All in all, their Xu family is loyal, and they can abandon Xu Miaojin to protect their own status when necessary.

Lao Zhu didn't wait for Qin Deshun to finish reading and fell asleep in a daze, Qin Deshun hurriedly lowered his voice when he saw this, until he heard Lao Zhu's snoring, and then completely closed his mouth.

Although Xu Huizu's petition for guilt is not nutritious, it has a hypnotic effect, and it can be regarded as a repudiation?

However, if the imperial grandson can't come back this time, their Xu family will inevitably be buried with them!

On the wall outside the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, a new list was posted again.

After the second tiger posted the list, he ordered people to stare at the whole process, closely watching everyone who passed by.

Anyone who looks at the list will be taken care of by the surveillance personnel on the ground and in the air.

Towards evening, a little beggar sneakily walked over, glanced at Bangwen a few times, and then hurriedly bowed his head and left.

When he passed by a tea stall, he shook his head at the old woman who was burning the fire at the door of the tea stall, and disappeared into the street with the crowd.

After Han Yushang got the little beggar's information, she was secretly relieved.

She never thought that Zhu Butcher would be so difficult, she kidnapped his grandson, or became the emperor's grandson, this old butcher was not in a hurry at all, but threatened to kill each other!

Fortunately, there is no uncle on the list of beheadings this time, otherwise she would really be to blame!

Just as she was thinking about how to further persecute Zhu Butcher, she suddenly found an uninvited guest at the tea stall

。

Erhu followed the route of the little beggar and walked to the tea stall just when he was thirsty, so he casually came in to beg for tea.

However, Han Yushang knew that he was the leader of the brocade guard, and when he saw him suddenly sitting on his tea stall, the whole person was so frightened that he couldn't breathe.

Is it self-exposed?

No way?

I didn't take the initiative to contact anyone......

While Han Yushang was thinking wildly, Erhu shouted impatiently.

"Are people dead, don't you see that our throats are about to smoke!"

Hearing this, Han Yushang hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Dare to ask the guest officer what he wants to drink?"

"What can you have in this shop?"

"Just have some thirst-quenching tea!"

Erhu threw down a copper coin, and then unbuttoned his collar, revealing his black chest hair, showing his inner irritability.

Seeing this, Han Yushang hurriedly agreed, and then went to the stove to pour tea.

However, when she handed a bowl of tea soup to Erhu's table, she suddenly saw Erhu looking towards her.

Han Yushang suddenly encountered this kind of change, her body shook subconsciously, and secretly said that the other party should not see anything, right?

Erhu stared at the old woman in front of him for a while, and then pretended to be casual to serve the tea, but just as he brought the tea to his mouth and was about to drink it, he suddenly splashed his backhand and poured the whole bowl of tea soup on the old woman who sold tea.

At the same time, one of his big hands quickly reached out, grabbed the old woman's wrist, and killed it Han Yushang was stunned for a moment when she saw this, and she wanted to resist but was afraid of being exposed, so she could only endure the panic in her heart and asked tentatively.

"Official, why are you holding the old woman's hand?"

"Auntie, your little hands are very delicate!"

"Although the color on the hand looks very old, and even spotted, it is slippery in the hand, and it does not look like a sixty or seventy-year-old woman at all!"

When Han Yushang heard this, she chuckled in her heart, but she still pretended to be indifferent on the surface.

"The official said that he laughed, maybe it's because the slave family sells tea all year round, right?"

"Really?"

"yes......"

When Han Yushang said this, he suddenly exerted force in his hand, broke free from the iron tongs of the second tiger, and then raised his leg and was about to run towards the street.

However, before she could lift her leg, she felt a pain in the back of her head, as if the back of her head had been hit by a sledgehammer.

At the same time, her body fell to the ground.

The second tiger punched the old woman who sold tea unconscious, and then took out a copper whistle from his sleeve and blew it a few times on the street.

Not long after, more than a dozen brocade guards came from the streets and alleys.

"What does the Tiger Master command?"

"Tie up this woman, even if this woman is not a fellow party member of the White Lotus, there must be a problem, bring it back for detailed interrogation first!"

"No!"

A few brocade guards were just about to lift the old woman on the ground, when they suddenly saw a layer of skin bulging on their faces.

"Master Tiger, this woman has a problem on her face!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Erhu hurriedly squatted down and looked over, and really saw that the shriveled flesh on the old woman's face bulged, and the position near the root of the ear even fell off a little.

"Human skin mask?"

"This thing is a rare thing, we have been in Jinyiwei for so many years, and we have only heard of it and never seen it!"

Erhu said as he carefully peeled off the human skin on the old woman's face.

When the human skin mask was removed, revealing a fair and pink woman's face, Erhu was stunned.

"It's her!"

"Master Tiger, who is this person?"

Hearing this, the second tiger scolded angrily.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and call someone!"

"This woman is very important, and she is related to the safety of the imperial grandson!"

Hearing this, the brocade guards didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent a signal to summon other people nearby.

Sure enough, they

Before the reinforcements arrived, a group of mysterious people came out of the streets and alleys, and without saying a word, they fired bows and crossbows at them.

Seeing this, Erhu hurriedly dragged the prisoner into the tea stall, and while blocking himself and the woman with the table, he struggled to blow the whistle in his mouth and let out a grunting cry for help.

The movement on their side alarmed the flying balls in the sky, and the brocade guards on the flying balls hurriedly sent a signal to Beizhen Fusi and recruited more flying balls to help.

Under the combined attack of heaven and earth, all the assassins near the tea stall were killed.

After making sure that it was safe, the second tiger carried the tea seller and got into the carriage.

"Hurry up and tell the emperor, just say that we have caught Lao Leng!"
