Chapter 28: The Assassins of the Inner Palace (8)
Fortunately, the eldest brother was clever in his strategy, and finally seized the opportunity to kill Xu Da, and even avenged half of the revenge for the lord, so Zhu Yuanzhang let him live for a few more days. The eldest brother was the lord's military advisor back then, and the third brother and Hate Yuan were very convinced of you, I just hope that the eldest brother will take care of himself, take everyone to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang together, and announce this great revenge for the lord. Chen Hanyi said with relief.
"Do your best, if it is really the destiny of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ming should be prosperous, and the Han should die, then we can only accept our fate, it's a big deal to hand over this old bone, and then we won't have the face to see the lord underground."
"By the way, eldest brother, I haven't always understood that I am the head of the Wei State Mansion, and it is really easy to kill Xu Da, why does the eldest brother repeatedly not let me do it?"
"Second brother, you are by Xu Da's side, it is easy to kill him, but the great cause of our Tianyi Alliance has just begun, if you kill Xu Da, it will definitely be impossible to stay in the Wei State Mansion, and it will be very unfavorable to accumulate silver in the future, killing Xu Da is a small matter, killing Zhu Yuanzhang is a big matter, and establishing a Han Dynasty is even greater. Now let Xu Da die under Zhu Yuanzhang, so that Zhu Yuanzhang can cut off an arm by himself, so that the people in the world can see, their current emperor is a ruthless and unrighteous person who only knows how to kill heroes and old generals, this is a hundred times stronger than killing Xu Da by ourselves, and the most important thing for us to take revenge is to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da can't just startle the snake, so I have repeatedly told you not to move Xu Da at will. ”
"Well, it's still the eldest brother who thinks thoughtfully."
"How's it going over there?"
"He's also trying to save money over there, as soon as there is movement, he can bet the silver to hate Yuan, Shicheng is not easy, and he has to keep an eye on Zhu Yuanzhang's movements, and he has to find a way to save money, and he has to stare at Yu Shixiong at any time, it's really hard for him, he has only been to Tianyi Valley once, and he has had a lot of ideas with me about building a general altar in Tianyi Valley, and he is loyal to Tianyi League."
"Well, Shicheng is a talent, if the lord is still there, he will definitely be able to be reused." Chen Hanren nodded.
"By the way, and, big brother, that Yu Shixiong seems to be a little uneasy, this guy is a ghost, I mentioned it several times, he refused to let the people sent by Qingcheng into the Tianyi League."
"Leave him alone, we were just going to fight his flag, and we didn't have the idea of beating his Qingcheng faction, those so-called decent people, who have a lot of concerns about doing things, are afraid of their heads, they can't rely on them, he is also a master himself, and it will be almost useful when the time comes. We still have to step up our training of our own dragon slaying killers, slaying dragons and dragons, and we must cut down Zhu Yuanzhang, a pseudo-dragon. If you want Du Feng Nangong Zhi to grasp it tightly, He Honghua will prepare more medicines, her medicines are still somewhat useful. If there is no movement on Shicheng's side, let him stay first, save more silver, if there is any movement, transfer him to Tianyi Valley, and help the third brother supervise the construction of the main altar, Tianyi Valley has been there for two years, and it has cost millions of taels of silver, and it is finally a bit of a look, the dragon slayer killer and the general altar are the capital of our confrontation with the Zhu Ming court, and there must be no mistakes. Chen Hanren coughed again and again as he spoke.
"Understand, big brother, you have a good rest first, don't think about it, I'll arrange things on the Wuyan side." Chen Hanyi said as he helped Chen Hanren sit down.
"Go ahead, be careful when you go out, this time we are assassinating, there are several people who have seen you, be careful that others recognize you. I'm not in the way, I can't die, it's just not convenient to go out, there are too many people in Kyori who know me. Chen Hanren coughed and raised his hand.
"Got it, big brother, you can rest in the house and recuperate, I'll go first, big brother."
"Go, go, go." Chen Hanren still couldn't stop coughing.
Zhu Wenyu came to the door of the Duke of Wei's mansion, hesitated for a while, he visited the Duke of Wei for the second time, first, to see if the Duke of Wei was really dead, although the possibility of pretending to be dead was extremely small, but the desert said that it was better to verify it again, the second was to see if Mr. You was still in the Duke of Wei's Mansion, and the third was to investigate the two sons of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou, who were related to the Tianyi League. This second thing is easy to do, you can see it by asking a few words casually. The first thing is that I don't know how to verify it, and I can't just ask "Is your dad really dead?" as soon as you enter the door?" If it's really dead, please come up with evidence. "Isn't this a heart-to-heart fight? There is also this third thing, and I don't know where to start, "Are you two brothers in contact with the Tianyi Alliance?" If you say no, please prove it? "I'm afraid it's also whimsical. After pondering and pondering, I couldn't figure out a good way, so I had to go to the Wei State Mansion and then talk about it, first explore the first thing, as for the third thing, I'm afraid I can only take a stupid way, and secretly ordered the people of Jinyi Wei to stare at Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou together.
"Two Lord Xu." Zhu Wenyu settled down and walked into the Wei State Mansion, where there was still a mourning hall in the main hall as yesterday, and Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou were still sitting in front of the hall to guard their spirits.
"Lord Zhu." Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou hurriedly returned the salute.
"Didn't Lord Zhu come here yesterday? What is it today? Xu Huizu asked suspiciously.
"Oh, Xia Guan used to be good friends with his old man when he was young, and he was taken care of by his old man, and when he returned to Beijing this time, he didn't have anything important to do, so he wanted to come to sit in front of his old man's spirit and accompany his old man." Zhu Wenyu lit three pillars of incense as he spoke, bowed deeply and respectfully in front of Xu Daling, stepped forward, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and bowed deeply again.
"This ...... Thank you, Mr. Zhu. "Xu Huizu was born as a military general, and his temperament is straighter after all, and he is quite moved, and he doesn't know what to say.
"The two Lord Xu also ask for condolences, people can't be resurrected after death, the dead are gone, and the living must take care of their bodies."
"Thank you, Lord Zhu." Xu Zengshou said gratefully.
Zhu Wenyu looked around and said, "Why are there only two Lord Xu here?" How are people not there? ”
"My father just unfortunately had too many visitors in the house in those days, and the house was too busy, and now there are fewer people who come, I let them all rest temporarily, if there are more people who come out to greet them, I have to guard the front anyway, and there is no need for them to add to the chaos when there are few people, only a dozen maids serve the inner family in the inner hall." Xu Zengshou said.
"The two Lord Xu are really loyal, so sympathetic to their subordinates, Zhu is full of admiration."
"Lord Zhu has won the award." Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou said together.
"I heard that there is a general manager of the Wei State Mansion who is very shrewd and capable, and many matters in the mansion are handled properly, so I guess I will do my best this time, right?" Zhu Wenyu has turned around and entered the topic.
"Lord Zhu, don't mention that ungrateful bastard." Xu Huizu was suddenly quite excited when he heard this: "This You Hanyi usually looks quite honest, who knows that knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts is not a thing at all, his father treated him well when he was alive, and his father has been guarding the northern frontier for many years, and everything in the house is handed over to him to deal with, how much trust does that have in him?" Who knew that this slave didn't know the picture, and his father had only been mourned for two days, so he didn't know where to go, and there was no news from looking around, and a big living person seemed to disappear out of thin air. ”
"Did he take away the belongings of the house?" Zhu Wenyu asked deliberately.
"Not really, he didn't take anything but his own clothes. It's just that it was the busiest time in the house, and the master was about to help, this slave was good, and he disappeared without a trace as soon as he ran, and he threw a big mess of things to the master and ran away by himself, so that we were busy as masters, and we still went to the Eguo Mansion to borrow their manager Xiao Yongtu and it took a few days to figure it out, and I almost missed my father's first seven! Master Zhu, tell me, is this kind of slave an ungrateful bastard? Shouldn't it be killed? The more Xu Huizu spoke, the higher his voice became.
"So Mr. You hasn't been back since he left?"
"He dared to come back! He dares to come back to see if I can break his dog's legs! Don't let me see this bastard again, and when I see that I want his life, it will not be able to remove the hatred in my heart if I want to dismantle him!" Xu Huizu barely scolded.
"This kind of minion is really hateful." Zhu Wenyu echoed casually. The second thing to inquire about is clear, it seems that this You Han Yiyou has already left the Wei Mansion and has never returned, as expected by the desert, he sneaked into the palace early to prepare to assassinate the emperor.
"How did You Hanyi enter the mansion?" Zhu Wenyu asked casually again.
"This Wang Eight Lamb was Hongwu two years into the house, Hongwu three years of the father of the Holy Dragon Grace for the Wei State Prince, the expansion of the Wei State Mansion, at that time to see this slave is very shrewd and capable, a lot of efforts, the father of the family mentioned him as the deputy governor, Hongwu ten years of the original boss Xu Tiefu died of illness, the father ordered him to take over the position of the head of the house, who knew that it was such an ungrateful Wang Eight Lambs!" Xu Huizu said.
"Forget it, big brother, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry for such an eyeless minion." Xu Zengshou persuaded on the side.
"Yes, yes, my husband is newly mourned, and the two Lord Xu have been working hard day after day, it is really not worth being angry because of these minions who do not grow up, and it is not worth it." Zhu Wenyu hurriedly echoed and helped Xu Huizu to sit down. Xu Huizu was still sitting there with a rough breath, obviously choking with anger because of You Hanyi's matter.
Xu Zengshou glanced at Zhu Wenyu and waved his head quietly. The news that Zhu Wenyu inquired about last time was said by Xu Zengshou, how could he not be aware at this time? Busy nodded quietly.
"Big brother, I'll accompany Master Zhu to the back room to sit down, big brother let's rest here first." Xu Zengshou said to Xu Huizu.
"Go, go, go." Xu Huizu raised his hand again and again.
"Dare to ask Lord Zhu, what does the emperor command." Entering the house, turning around and closing the door, Xu Zengshou bowed deeply to Zhu Wenyu and asked in a low voice.
Zhu Wenyu secretly screamed.
Zhu Wenyu told Nangong Ling and Zhou Yuanyi about the last time he came to the Wei Mansion and was assassinated in the palace, and the desert analyzed that Xu Zengshou must have regarded Zhu Wenyu as the secret envoy of Zhu Yuanzhang, the current Holy Hongwu Emperor, so he would talk in detail about the time before and after Xu Da kowtowed to thank him for the gift and committed suicide by taking poison that night. This time Zhu Wenyu entered the Wei Mansion again, Xu Zengshou must have thought that Zhu Wenyu had reported what he said yesterday to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang must have a new word to order Zhu Wenyu to bring it, so he asked about it when he entered the door. Although Zhu Wenyu had already learned before, he still couldn't help but be impressed by the magic of the desert at this time.
