Chapter 28: The Assassins of the Inner Palace (9)
Before he came to the Wei Mansion, he discussed with Desert and others, and decided not to tell Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou about the fact that Chen Hanren, the great eunuch in the palace, transferred the package from the middle, replaced the ordinary reed roast goose with a steamed goose, and was so tired that Xu Da committed suicide by taking poison. If Xu Huizu and the others know the truth and learn that Wei Guogong, the pillar of the court and the first-class founding hero, actually died unjustly in the hands of a eunuch, the resentment in his heart will not know how much he will rise, and maybe there will be some chaos. It is better to directly treat it as Zhu Yuanzhang's death, anyway, a few years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang really gave death to Huai'an Hou Hua Yunlong, Deqing Hou Liao Yongzhong and others, and according to previous examples, if Zhu Yuanzhang opened the knife on his courtiers, it was often "all the men were executed, and the female dependents were sent to the army as slaves", compared to this side, Xu Huizu attacked the title of Duke of Wei, this kind of "death" is not known how many times the mercy and generosity are many times, maybe it will make the Xu Huizu brothers and brothers grateful for the grace of heaven, so that nothing will happen.
It was Zhu Wenyu himself who came up with this idea, and the desert originally wanted Zhu Wenyu to defend Zhu Yuanzhang in front of Xu Huizu Xu Zengshou, saying that he had no intention of killing Xu Da, but just the eunuch Chen Hanren made trouble, but Zhu Wenyu put the reason in place, Nangong Ling and Zhou Yuan also agreed with this proposition, and the desert couldn't, so he had to agree to Zhu Wenyu's method and let Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang carry this black pot to the end.
Hearing Xu Zengshou ask at this time, Zhu Wenyu deliberately sighed and said: "The emperor is also very sad about this matter, the emperor gave the steamed goose with no other intention, just to invite the old ministers to reminisce about the old together." Unexpectedly, Wei Guogong would believe the rumors of his hometown so much that he misinterpreted the emperor's meaning. Wei Guogong is the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and he is by no means comparable to Huayunlong Liao Yongzhong and others, even if he is guilty, he is absolutely not guilty of death, not to mention that there is an iron coupon for the death free Danshu given by the emperor himself in the mansion. It's just that Wei Guogong was confused for a while, and the emperor will never arbitrarily offend the rest of the people, and he must not embarrass the family members of the Wei Guogong Mansion. also ordered Brother Ling to attack the title, and the emperor still hoped that the two Lord Xu would wholeheartedly contribute to the court and not fall into the prestige of the old man. These words are vague, one will say that the steamed goose is given by the emperor himself, and the other will say that there is no intention of giving death, and deliberately wake up the rumors that the emperor knows his hometown, and intentionally or unintentionally mention the Huayunlong Liao Yongzhong who was given death, and then come to the sentence "Even if you are guilty, you are absolutely guilty of not death", full of words of love and compassion for the courtiers, but the words that flickered and vaguely meant between the lines were full of warnings to Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou not to act rashly, and even better is that these words are full of Zhu Yuanzhang's tone, But he didn't say a word about whether Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to spread the word like this, and there was nothing wrong with it at all. This kind of semantic pun can only understand the unspeakable words to the desert Nangong Ling or the old Jianghu Zhou Yuan, which no one can say, and only those who have been up and down in the sea for more than ten years, or people like Zhu Wenyu who have been in the palace for several years can figure it out.
"Yes, yes, Weichen understands that Weichen will live up to the grace of the saint and do his best to do errands for the imperial court, and will never live up to the name of his father." Sure enough, Xu Zengshou really thought it was Zhu Yuanzhang's words, stood up, and kowtowed to Zhu Wenyu respectfully.
Zhu Wenyu never said this kind of official language on weekdays, but he was too tired to say such things, and he felt extremely unaccustomed to saying such things, but he had to pretend. He knew that Xu Zengshou kowtowed to himself not to kowtow to him Zhu Wenyu, but to the long-lived Lord Zhu Yuanzhang whom he represented. Zhu Wenyu knew that he was playing the role of speaking on behalf of the emperor at this time, so he quietly let Xu Zengshou kowtow a few times to strengthen his heart, if he avoided it, it would not seem that he was speaking for the emperor. Finally, Xu Zengshou kowtowed, Zhu Wenyu hurriedly helped Xu Zengshou up, and said with a smile: "Zhu can't help it, Lord Xu." Come, come, Lord Xu sit. ”
"Lord Zhu, please take a seat." Xu Zengshou also said.
"Lord Xu, the manager of your mansion has really made the two Lord Xu work hard when he runs like this." Zhu Wenyu didn't have anything to say.
"I don't understand what happened to You Hanyi." Xu Zengshou frowned and said: "He has been in the house for more than ten years, and has been the manager for eight years, he has always been honest, there has never been anything wrong, and the inside and outside are properly supported, the father guards the northern Xinjiang all the year round, and the eldest brother leads the troops to live in the barracks most of the time, and the lower officials also have a lot of official business, and there are not many times when they return to the house. But this time it's really weird, it's only been two days since my father died, and he disappeared, and he couldn't find it all when he searched around, and he was busy enough, no wonder the eldest brother was angry. What puzzled me very much was that this You Hanyi ran away from the house, without warning, and never heard him talk about it, let alone stealing the softness of the house, and he didn't even take his own clothes, just a person disappeared out of thin air, which is really very puzzling. ”
"Didn't he say where he was going?" Zhu Wenyu asked. Of course, he couldn't tell Xu Zengshou that You Hanyi went to the palace to assassinate the emperor, he just wanted to see if they had any other dealings with You Hanyi.
"I want to think about it...... I didn't say anything a few days before leaving, but half a year ago, about October last year, Mr. You mentioned to me that he might have to go out, saying that he was going back to his hometown and calling it 'Tianyi Valley', but then I didn't see him ask for leave to go back. Later, I didn't seem to mention going out or anything. ”
"Oh? Where is this Mr. You from? ”
"This ...... This official is not too clear, and has never asked about it. Xu Zengshou was very surprised that Zhu Wenyu, a person who came up to speak on behalf of the emperor, could be so interested in a house slave in the house, but although he didn't know why, he answered honestly.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, I met Mr. Yu Shixiong Yu in Sichuan last time, and I heard him say that I had met adults before, let me bring you a good one." Zhu Wenyu said fraudulently.
"Yu Shixiong?" Xu Zengshou was surprised: "Which Lord Yu?" Is it Lord Yu Shiying Yu from Jinan Mansion, Shandong? How did Master Yu go to Sichuan? ”
"Huh? Am I mistaken? Alas, I've been busy with all the mess these days, yes, yes, I'm wrong, I'm not asking Lord Xu, hehe, it's really abrupt. "It seems that this Xu Zengshou has nothing to do with the Tianyi League, otherwise it would be impossible not to know the leader of the Tianyi Alliance, the "Ruyi Divine Sword" Yu Shixiong, even if he pretends not to know, he will not pretend to be so similar. Zhu Wenyu hurriedly diverted the topic.
"Oh, Lord Zhu has been working hard for the affairs of the imperial court for days, and you still have to pay more attention to your body." Zhu Wenyu pretended to be too similar, Xu Zengshou didn't notice anything wrong, and said with relief.
"Thank you, Lord Xu, Zhu will pay attention." Zhu Wenyu finally couldn't hold back a smile and said solemnly.
For a while, the two of them stopped talking, Zhu Wenyu didn't know what to say, and he wasn't familiar with it, but Xu Zengshou always thought that Zhu Wenyu was the secret envoy of the Son of Heaven, how dare he chat and talk at will? Naturally, he kept silent, for fear that he would inadvertently get into trouble by saying something wrong.
"I don't know what position Lord Xu serves in the court?" Zhu Wenyu was quite impatient with this dullness, and asked casually.
Zhu Wenyu walked out of the Wei State Mansion, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and played dumb riddles with Xu Zengshou in the mansion without a word, and he almost didn't know what to say, Xu Zengshou has always regarded himself as Zhu Yuanzhang's secret envoy, and he is not like the "Iron Beggar" Zhou Lao Hua's old gangster with a grinning face, saying every word is dangerous and sitting cautiously, which makes Zhu Wenyu feel extremely uncomfortable, but he can't say a few words and leaves, so he has to dig out his mind and say something without words, which makes him feel bored, Xu Zengshou thought that he was going to enter the palace to report to the emperor again, and he didn't dare to keep it, so he respectfully sent it to the door of the mansion, but Xu Huizu was born with a much better temperament, and he still sat in front of the spirit, and when he saw them coming out of the back room, he nodded and said hello. Zhu Wenyu really escaped from the Wei Mansion, and when he saw Xu Zengshou turn around and go back to the mansion, Zhu Wenyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Damn, I really suffocated the young master." "Walk back.
Unconsciously returned to his own mansion, Zhu Wenyu shouted impatiently: "Dead little Gaozi!" Open the door!"
"It's coming, it's coming." Guo heard the response of Xiao Gaozi in the door, followed by a slightly hurried footsteps, and after a while, I saw Xiao Gaozi smile and open the door. Zhu Wenyu suddenly felt that Xiao Gaozi seemed to be smiling a little weirdly today, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "What are you laughing at?" Sneaky!" Without thinking, he walked inside, and Xiao Gaozi hurriedly closed the door again.
As soon as he walked into the door five or six steps, Zhu Wenyu stopped suddenly, on his tiptoes, without even looking back, but his body retreated sharply like an arrow, and he arrived behind the door in the blink of an eye, followed by two screams.
Zhu Wenyu suddenly stopped his body again, turned around, and looked like a smile: "I knew that you two wanted to calculate me, how about it?" Didn't make you proud, did you? Hey. ”
Tang Yun and Maya, who were hiding behind the door and wanted to take advantage of Zhu Wenyu's walk inside, were looking at him with their mouths open, dumbfounded.
"How do you know it's us?" Tang Yun was shocked and patted his chest and asked.
"That's it, how do you know?" Maya next to her also woke up and asked on a twitter.
"Young Master Ben is a god descending to earth, just pinch your fingers and know it, what's the big deal about this?" Zhu Wenyu said vividly.
"Phew! I know that if you brag, if you blow it again, you will blow the sky. Maya cocked her nose.
"Hehe, Lao Minghua has already said that you two little girls want to play tricks on this monkey, it is really more difficult than heaven." Zhou Yuan's strange laughter had already been heard.
"Brother Zhu and the two of you returned to the capital from Wudang together, naturally I know that the two girls should also go to Beijing, and besides, Xiao Gaozi went to open the door, with Brother Zhu's skills, I must have heard that you also ran over and hid behind the door, and then I thought about it, I naturally knew that it was Miss Tang and the two of you." Desert said with a smile as he walked towards the door with Nangong Ling Zhou Yuan.
As soon as Maya heard the reason, she glared at Zhu Wenyu and said: "Hmph, even if you are powerful this time, one day you will fall into the hands of me and Sister Tang, hmph, who told you and the old man to leave me and Sister Tang alone?" Hum. ”
"Okay, Maya, didn't you make it clear on the way? They have to rush back, we can't catch up so fast, we can't hold them back. Tang Yun persuaded.
"Oh, Sister Tang, I know this, don't I just want to play tricks on him." Maya pouted.
"Young master, you just left for half a meal, and the two young grandmothers arrived, so I asked someone to hurry up to Zuixian Building to purchase some meals and serve the two young grandmothers to eat, just now the young master, you called the door, and the two young grandmothers had to come, and they didn't let me tell the young master, I had no choice, so I had to rely on the two young grandmothers." Xiao Gaozi has been standing behind the door since he tied the door, and said to Zhu Wenyu with a smile at this time.
"I'm going to die! Little Takako!" Maya blushed and screamed in a hurry, "Who told you to learn what the stinky old man called Hanako?" Be careful that I spank you!" The words of the "two young grandmothers" in Xiao Gaozi's mouth were naturally taught by Zhou Yuan, which made Tang Yun and Maya blush, and Maya jumped up and pretended to chase after Xiao Gaozi. However, she is a big girl, and she actually said such a thing as beating a big man's ass, not to mention that Xiao Gaozi is two years older than Zhu Wenyu, and several years older than Maya, which sounds really incredible. It turned out that Zhu Wenyu reached out and slapped her and Tang Yun's buttocks without any scruples, which was probably learned from Zhu Wenyu's mouth, but he didn't learn what he should learn, and he learned what he shouldn't learn.
"Who's wrong? I've even worshipped the church, why don't you count? It's a young grandmother, so what? Zhu Wenyu smiled strangely: "There are still a lot of people who want to be and can't be it, you two are picking up cheap ones, right?" Yun'er. ”
Tang Yun didn't guard against Zhu Wenyu being cheeky to say such a thing, and actually came over to ask her, making a big red face and chirping: "Bah, except for me and Sister Maya who accidentally got on your thief ship, who else can look at your stinky monkey?" Maya, go! Let's go into the house. He took Maya's hand and walked towards the house.
Zhu Wenyu scratched his head and smiled. Seeing this, Zhou Yuan laughed wildly on the side.
Everyone has finished fighting, back to the house, Tang Yun briefly said that he and Maya took a boat down the river along the waterway to the capital, the boat is a boat from Dongting Lake, and the beggar gang is quite related, so along the way the second daughter is taken care of quite thoughtful and meticulous, plus the two daughters are both martial arts practitioners, but Tang Yun's body is not very convenient, and Maya is completely exhausted, easy to feel tired, when he arrived in the capital, the tired body has fully recovered, and hurriedly found Zhu Wenyu's mansion, Tang Yun once lived here, He was familiar with Xiao Gaozi and other people in the house, and he was familiar with the way, but he felt hungry, so he asked Xiao Gaozi to buy some food to fill his stomach first.
Zhu Wenyu said to the desert again that he went to the Wei Mansion to talk to Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou this time, and the desert was silent for a long time, Zhu Wenyu Nangong Ling, Zhou Yuan, Tang Yun, Maya, plus Xiao Gaozi, a total of six people, twelve eyes stared at him in unison.
The desert pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "Brother Zhu is reasonable, it seems that this Wei Guogong should really have nothing to do with the Tianyi Alliance, but it was the Tianyi Alliance that killed the life of Wei Guogong." Wei Guogong's two sons, according to Brother Zhu, I don't think they have much to do with the Tianyi League. ”
Wei Guogong Xu Danai Ming Dynasty founding general, it is rumored that he had obtained the essence of the art of war of the "Wu Mu Testament", loved the soldiers like a son, used the soldiers like gods, fought the Mongolian soldiers to the flowers, swept the Central Plains invincible, not only the people felt deeply relieved of the pain of the hanging, even the people in the martial arts are also very respectful of it, it can be said that the reputation is like the sky, the power of the world, so no one wants him to have anything to do with the Tianyi League that has done many massacres, as soon as the desert said this, everyone was naturally relieved when they heard it, and quickly nodded their heads.
"If you want to deal with the Heavenly Clothes Alliance, then the most important thing at the moment is to find them." Desert continued: "What I said last time about Steward You, Xiao Wuya, Yu Shixiong, He Honghua and even Golden Butterfly Du Feng Feng Hatyuan and others are all clues we have at hand, by the way, there is also an important person, that is, Liu Shicheng of Leshan, must also have something to do with the Tianyi League, if you want to find the Tianyi Alliance, you must start from these people, in addition to our beggar disciples, I am afraid that you must also borrow more people in the name of the deputy commander of Jinyiwei or the minister of the Qin Mission. ”
"Who is this Feng Heyuan?"
"It's the deputy leader of the Tianyi Alliance, known as the 'Absolute Knife', this is what Brother Tang Feng told me." Nangong Lingdao.
"It's a bit weird." Desert pondered: "This Feng Hatyuan martial arts is so high, he shouldn't have no reputation in the martial arts, but I have asked Master and Uncle, but I have never heard of such a person. I think that I have hundreds of thousands of beggar gang disciples, all over the world, and it is difficult to hide from the beggar gang in any trouble, but even the master has never heard of this person, and I asked many elders and disciples of the beggar gang to know, as if this person is like coming out of the ground, and the origin is quite strange. ”
"Don't look at me, I don't know, the sand boy also asked me, I don't know, I don't know." Seeing Zhu Wenyu turn his head to look at himself, Zhou Yuan shook his head again and again, this time he was surprisingly not holding a chicken leg in his hand.
"Doesn't his martial arts show any sect?" Zhu Wenyu asked Nangong Ling again.
"I can't see it, but I haven't seen many martial arts, maybe it's a sect I don't know. However, his martial arts moves are quite different from the martial arts of ordinary sects. ”
"What's the difference?" Zhu Wenyu and the desert asked in unison.
"It's very powerful." Nangong Ling frowned while recalling: "I didn't directly deal with him, but I saw the two moves he made to Tang Wen, and I also met him, but he suddenly stopped fighting." I only have two words: domineering. Usually our moves are slow, urgent, offensive and defensive, but this deputy alliance leader makes me feel that as long as I make a move, I am an attacker, and the momentum of each move is wide open and closed, making people unstoppable, and the knife is not angry and pressing, if the mind is slightly worse, as long as he is on the opposite side, he already has the feeling of not being able to walk, even if the martial arts are similar, he is only bound to die. Also, I think his tricks are very direct, without the slightest fancy change, a knife split, will never change direction halfway, but the momentum is within a cage, people can not avoid it, although it is unstoppable, but it has to be blocked, very difficult to deal with. ”
