Chapter 448: We Promised Too Many Things!
Late at night, in the prison of the Criminal Department, a man wearing a jailer's clothes slipped out of the prison generously.
It was not until the man slipped out that the men of the Punishment Department found the dead jailer and the prisoner who had been dead in the cell for a long time.
The people of the Criminal Department did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the matter to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Yang Jing, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, learned of the incident, got up from the bed in the middle of the night to investigate, and sent someone to hunt down.
However, what made him desperate was that this person seemed to have evaporated from the world, and he couldn't trace the slightest trace.
If it were in normal times, he might report his death and close the case hastily.
But now that the entire capital is under martial law, and soldiers can be seen patrolling the streets, it is obvious that this matter cannot be concealed at all.
In case this prisoner is caught by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, or the Jinyi Guard and Jingying outside the city, it will be difficult for him to explain in the end.
Therefore, Yang Jing thought twice and could only report the matter head-on.
When Yang Jing ran to the gate of the palace early in the morning to wait for the report, the secret agent left in the criminal department of Jinyiwei had already informed Erhu of the matter, and Erhu informed Lao Zhu of the matter to Lao Zhu, who was staying in Fusi in Beizhen.
Lao Zhu only asked one sentence after knowing this.
"Who's the one who ran away?"
"Han Qing?"
Lao Zhu smiled coldly when he heard this.
"It was him!"
"Han Qing...... Han Qing ......"
"Our Zhu family's country is Huode, he took a clear character as his name, this is for our Zhu Ming country!"
"If this guy builds a country in the future, shouldn't it be called Dahan or Daqing?"
Lao Zhu said to himself, but the two tigers on the side were in a cold sweat when he listened.
There was such a big mistake this time, shouldn't the emperor give the entire criminal department a click?
However, to his surprise, after Lao Zhu muttered a few words to himself, he just ordered him to send out the sea fishing paperwork.
"Emperor, do you want to search the whole city?"
Lao Zhu glanced at Erhu, and then asked a question.
"Do you know how many people there are in the capital?"
"Do you know how big the capital is?"
"And the whole city search...... Do you want the whole world to know that our imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty has been lost?"
The two tigers were unwilling.
"You can't wait, you have to do something......
Lao Zhu sneered when he heard this.
"That's good!"
"You go and find it, if you can't find Han Qing, you can't find our eldest grandson, then you come to see you!"
Hearing this, Erhu said without hesitation.
"Humble Command!"
Lao Zhu looked at the second tiger who ran out without looking back, and sighed helplessly.
This is not only a color tiger, but also a stupid tiger.
In fact, Lao Zhu no longer had any hope of finding the eldest grandson alive, and with his grudge against the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect must have no reason to let the eldest grandson live.
He, the grandfather of the emperor, can only severely crack down on the White Lotus Sect and avenge the eldest grandson.
But how to inform the world of the death of the eldest grandson?
Sick to death, or sick to death?
Alas!
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu couldn't help but sigh again.
Not to mention that he is not interested in Han Qing now, he is not interested in the government and the new law.
I don't even feel bored to live.
If you can get back the life of the eldest grandson, let him die immediately!
The next day's morning pilgrimage was cancelled again.
Gao Ming, as the number one civil official of the Wenhua Palace, realized that something big had happened yesterday.
It stands to reason that even if the imperial grandson is really sick, he should send someone to inform him, or ask him to bring the important folds over to deal with it.
Although Gao Ming was full of suspicions, he still maintained his appearance of decency, handled the affairs of the Wenhua Palace in an orderly manner, and helped the imperial grandson manage the huge industry.
Relatively speaking, Zhang Zongjun's performance was much more flustered, even if he sat on the chair, it was like a mustard seed rising in his buttocks, and he had to stand up and walk a few laps from time to time, and then kept looking towards the Qianqing Palace.
Gao Ming wanted to reprimand him several times, but finally held back. It wasn't until after lunch that he saw Zhang Zongjun running in in a panic that he reprimanded him mercilessly.
"Zhang Zongjun, what kind of body do you look like all day long!"
"Don't think that if the emperor is not there, you don't have to do things!"
"You've always been in charge of the affairs of the overseas domains, have you chosen the new personnel, and when will you be able to leave for the domain?"
Zhang Zongjun directly ignored Gao Ming's words, and instead stepped forward and pulled him to a remote corner.
"Tall, have you heard?"
"What did you hear?"
"The Imperial Grandson..."
"Isn't the imperial grandson sick?"
"Nope!"
"I heard from the eunuchs in the palace that the imperial grandson was kidnapped by gangsters, and now the whole city is searching!"
When Gao Ming heard this, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and his body was swaying and he was about to fall down at any time.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"How can the imperial grandson ......?"
Zhang Zongjun grabbed Gao Ming, and then pulled him to sit on the chair.
"Lord Gao, it's not that the lower officials are too talkative."
"Actually, yesterday, the lower officials noticed that something was wrong, and there were too many officers and soldiers on the street, obviously chasing important criminals!"
"All of this is a sign that something is wrong!"
Gao Ming still hears that something is wrong.
"The big thing you are talking about is that the imperial grandson was kidnapped, right?"
Zhang Zongjun nodded heavily.
"Yes!"
"It's just that this matter is still being suppressed, and it has not been announced to the government and the opposition, but you and I, as the courtiers of the imperial grandson, should have prepared early!"
Gao Ming's face turned pale when he heard this.
"What do you want to prepare?"
As soon as Zhang Zongjun heard it, he knew that Gao Ming had misunderstood him, and hurriedly explained.
"Tall man, where do you want to go!"
"The two of us have received great favor from the emperor's grandson, but we can't let the emperor's grandson's new legal person die!"
"Let's carry it and guard it for the emperor's grandson......
Gao Ming's face softened a little when he heard this, and then he scolded.
"Shut your crow's mouth!"
"The Imperial Grandson will definitely be fine!"
"It's going to be fine...... I'm going to come back safely......
Gao Ming muttered self-hypnosis, just talking and talking, tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Although the imperial grandson is usually very lazy, he is reluctant to let him approve every setback, and he can't wait to throw all the work to himself.
But as long as he is in one day, Wenhua Hall has the backbone, and everyone has the strength to do things.
Gao Ming felt a panic in his heart when he thought that the imperial grandson was gone, or forever.
It's not just about his life's ideals and ambitions, it's also about his life's expectations.
Zhang Zongjun is a smart man, he doesn't have the same ideals and ambitions as Gao Ming, he is just an official fan who compromises with reality.
Therefore, after calming Gao Ming's emotions, he began to calculate with him how to deal with the current work.
"Lord Gao, there are obviously many important things now that you can't wait for the imperial grandson, so you better hurry up and get an idea!
"The silver and gold ingots shipped back from Japan have arrived in Hong Kong, and the minting of the fourth batch of coins is urgent, you see......
Gao Ming nodded hurriedly when he heard this.
"I'll approve it!"
"The seal of the imperial grandson is in the hands of the old man, and the old man approves this matter on behalf of the imperial grandson!"
"There is also the matter of the Jinling Shipyard, which requires the deployment of manpower and workers......
"In addition, Mrs. Ning sent a letter to the imperial grandson, and now the imperial grandson is not here
Why don't we open it up and take a look at it first?"
"Mrs. Ning, ......"
The so-called Mrs. Ning is Li Ning, the favorite concubine of the former prince's mansion, Li Ning went to Japan by boat and used the gold and silver she carried with her to a tea house.
As the so-called foreign monks can chant scriptures, coupled with Li Ning's experience in the Prince's Mansion, the royal nobility contaminated with his body has attracted countless Japanese celebrities.
Zhang Zongjun was ordered by the imperial grandson to implement the timing of division, and Mrs. Li Ning was also put to use and became the spokesperson of the imperial grandson in Japan.
Gao Ming also knew that Mrs. Li Ning had a special identity, and once she sent a letter, it would definitely be a great event.
Therefore, after a slight hesitation, he immediately agreed to Zhang Zongjun's suggestion and opened the letter with him to read.
The two quickly read the letter, but after reading it, they were again in a dilemma.
Now that the imperial grandson is gone, neither of them has the right to deal with this matter.
"Zhang Zongjun, what do you think should be done about this?"
Zhang Zongjun glared at Gao Ming unhappily when he heard this.
"Don't hurt me!"
"This is a major matter involving the power of the vassal king, which is beyond the control of one of my courtiers!"
Gao Ming heard the tentative way.
"Why don't you delay it for a few days?"
"Wait for the imperial grandson to come and make a decision!"
"What if the imperial grandson can't come back?"
"Shut up!"
"I found out why your mouth stinks, don't say what you shouldn't say!"
"Don't be naïve, sir!"
"To tell you the truth, it's hard to say how many days we can work, and it won't be long before Daming will have a new imperial grandson, and we will have to be kicked out of the palace!"
"Therefore, while we still have power in our hands, hurry up for Daming, for the world, and for ...... The crown prince should do more!"
While the two were arguing, in a clean room in Fusi, Beizhen, Han Yushang woke up from a coma.
Han Yusheng, who woke up again, saw the room with a bright window and the sunlight shining in from the transparent window, and showed a rare smile on her face.
However, just as she was basking in this beautiful afternoon, a tall, thin old man walked in with a gloomy face.
The smile on Han Yusheng's face froze in an instant, and those memories that she didn't want to think about or remember also suddenly came to mind.
"Zhu Butcher!"
Zhu Yuanzhang calmly sat on the chair by the window and looked at Han Yushang lightly.
"The person you want to save is Han Qing, right?"
When Han Yushang heard this, her body couldn't help but shake. However, she quickly reacted and pretended to be light-hearted.
"You're lying to me?"
Lao Zhu just smiled indifferently when he heard this.
"Don't talk nonsense, you tell us where our eldest grandson is, let's let you and Han Qing go!"
"You do ......"
Before Han Yusheng's word "dream" could be spoken, he was interrupted by Lao Zhu.
"But we have one condition!"
"You and Han Qing can't stay in Daming in the future, if we find out that you are still in Daming, we will crush your bones and scatter ashes!"
When Han Yushang heard this, he hesitated.
Han Yushang hesitated again and again, and finally spoke with difficulty.
"I want to see him!"
Lao Zhu flatly refused when he heard this.
"No!"
"Before we meet the eldest grandson, you don't want to see Han Qing!"
Hearing this, Han Yushang suddenly showed a sly smile.
"Butcher Zhu, you've finally revealed your stuff!"
"You pretended not to care before, and said that you have many children and grandchildren, but you were just lying to me......
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded without hesitation.
"Yes!"
"What we care about the most is Yun Xi, and our favorite is also Yun Xi."
"If we had a choice, we would even be willing to die for him!"
"We're only going to be big
Leave it to Yun Xi, so that we can close our eyes with peace of mind!"
"So, as long as you hand over our eldest grandson, you and Han Qing can be ignored!"
When Lao Zhu said this, he said to Han Yushang seriously.
"Kid, you're still young, and you'll have plenty of time to come."
"You can get married, you can have children, you can have many ways to live, there is no need to live in the hatred of the previous generation."
"You are also a person who has seen our eldest grandson, in all fairness, what is the character of our eldest grandson?"
When Han Yushang heard this, she immediately remembered the night she was alone with Zhu Yunxi.
She thought that Zhu Yunxi would do it to herself in a frenzy, or let herself do embarrassing things.
However, Zhu Yunxi didn't do anything, didn't even look at herself, just made a request to her and asked her to sing a tune to herself.
The tune is weird, but the words are touching and pure.
Tile blue sky flying Lao Leng
I looked at Jinling from the mountain
Listen to the mother's voice
I want to see through the mountains.........
Han Yushang subconsciously hummed the song of the year, the reason why she missed the best time and didn't do it was because she was moved by this song.
If Zhu Yunxi's identity as the grandson of the emperor is removed, he is just a poor child who has lost his mother since he was a child, and his heart is full of thoughts and attachments to his mother, how can she be ruthless?
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Han Yusheng's humming and continued to exert his emotional offensive.
"We weren't kind to you back then, were we?"
"Although we didn't know your identity back then, we still ordered someone to send you money and help you get rid of your lowly status......
Han Yusheng's delicate body trembled again when she heard this.
Yes, no matter what, I inherited the favor of this old man back then.
It can be seen that although this old man is vicious in a thousand ways, he treats his grandson really well, and even takes care of himself as an outsider.
"Girl!"
"Give yourself a chance, and give us a chance."
"Tell us about Zhu Yunxi's whereabouts!"
Even though Han Yushang has many years of experience in rebellion, she can't bear Lao Zhu's insight into people's hearts after all, and her heart gradually moves.
"Can you really talk and count?"
"Yes!"
"Can you really spare me and my uncle?"
"The premise is that you can't stay in Daming!"
"We still have a lot of believers, and we're going to take them with us!"
"No!"
"No matter what religion they believe, they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they must die in the land of the Ming Dynasty!"
Lao Zhu's refusal was neat, but he frightened Erhu and Qin Deshun, who were listening to the corner outside the door.
The emperor is really, can't he coax this female bandit and let her honestly tell the whereabouts of the emperor's grandson?
However, to the surprise of the two, after some bargaining between the two in the room, the female bandit really told the whereabouts of the imperial grandson!
"You're the emperor, you have to count when you speak!"
"We can write you a decree!"
"Well, I'll trust you for once!"
"After we captured the imperial grandson, I handed him over to ten henchmen, and gave them ten boats to go to different places."
Lao Zhu said indifferently when he heard this.
"It's okay!"
"All you have to do is tell us all ten locations!"
"Good!"
"Tell someone to remember ......"
When Lao Zhu heard this, he hurriedly ordered someone to bring in paper and pens, and then wrote down the location from fifteen to ten.
However, just as he had written down the ten locations and was about to hurry to find them, he suddenly heard the demon girl speak again.
"None of these ten locations, though."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I did one more when I drew lots, and that was to let the lottery
The person who goes to the bamboo stick decides the place for himself."
"If that's the case, then how can we find our eldest grandson?"
Han Yushang showed a sly smile when she heard this.
"If that's the case, then I can only be released, and only when I appear in a specific place will someone take the initiative to contact me and inform me of Zhu Yunxi's whereabouts."
"Oh yes!"
"I also made a pact with my henchmen that as long as they didn't hear from me for three days, they could kill someone!"
"Butcher Zhu, if you want to ensure the safety of the imperial grandson, you'd better order someone to release me, otherwise even if you find him, it will only be a corpse in the end!"
"You want to be beautiful!"
No matter how stupid Lao Zhu is, he knows that he has been tricked by this little girl.
Lao Zhu slammed the table hard, and then walked out with a blue face.
After coming to the outer room, Lao Zhu called Erhu and commanded.
"Erhu, hurry up and order someone to search according to these ten locations!"
"As long as you find our eldest grandson, you will immediately dismantle this woman into eight pieces!"
When Erhu heard this, he reminded stupidly.
"Emperor, didn't you just promise this demon girl to let her and King Xiao Ming go?"
Lao Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this.
"We've promised a lot!"
"In the years when we started the incident, we also promised the Yuan Court to be a good minister and not rebel!"
"Uh-uh......"
Erhu and Qin Deshun skimmed together when they heard Lao Zhu's words, and then the two of them slapped a rainbow fart in unison.
"Emperor Shengming!"
