Chapter 247: Zhu Li makes steel

"Slaughter my whole city?" Everyone's expressions became solemn.

"What's going on? Did Zhang Ren say this? Zhu Su also temporarily put away the joy of reuniting with the two brothers and asked solemnly.

"This is the word that Zhang Ren's thief released when he fled." Ru Taisu explained angrily. "It is precisely because of this that the old man vowed to arrest him alive."

"At that time, because these soldiers were unusable, they were killed by this thief."

"Before leaving, this thief turned around and released cruel words to the old man, saying that when he turned back and led the army to attack the city, he would slaughter the whole city of Suzhou!"

"Leader......" Zhu Su frowned deeply. But a group of lost dogs, where did the army come from? ”

"What, is there going to be a war?" Yan Wang Zhu Di looked eager to try. "Speaking of the fifth, what did you do tonight? Why don't you tell me and my second brother? ”

"Why is His Royal Highness King Yan belligerent?" Ru Lao Troll suddenly became angry again, and aimed his nozzle at Zhu Di: "You must know that the war is together, and the people will be ruined!" ”

"Now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, if the thief really hides a large army, I will lose the opportunity directly if I don't know his whereabouts!"

"As a prince, he left Beijing without authorization, and for his own convenience, he coerced the soldiers to open the door late at night, and the power of the heavenly family was so rampant and lawless, and it ruined the great affairs of Pingkou......"

"The old man is going to impeach His Majesty fiercely against the two Highnesses!"

"Old Rutou, it's over, it's over, it......'s over" Seeing that Zhu Di and Zhu Fan were not good-looking, Zhu Su hurriedly stood up and played a round. The second brother and the fourth brother, didn't they also just catch up with Zhang Ren and kill Zhang Ren? ”

"Kill the thief head, this is a great achievement! At least I didn't let this guy hide anymore. ”

"That's it." Zhu Fan nodded his head.

"This? The head of the thief is clearly the turtle in the urn...... "Ru Taisu was stunned for a while, and laughed angrily. "Not to mention that a few ordinary thieves were let go because of this......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Su directly opened the topic: "Okay, old Rutou." You have a great deal to do in this battle, and no one will forget you. ”

"So, do you think that the 'army' in the mouth of these remnants of the Zhang family is in the hands of Zhang Shicheng's other missing son, Zhang Li?"

"It must be so!" Ru Taisu was really distracted. "Therefore, the old man wanted to capture Zhang Ren alive, and asked him about the so-called army and the whereabouts of his brother Zhang Li."

Zhu Su nodded. Ru Taisu's judgment is not wrong, a living Zhang Ren does have a much greater role than a dead Zhang Ren. The Zhang brothers only killed one of them, after all, they still fought the snake and did not die, and the other Zhang Shicheng's remnants could support the other. Only by killing all these two people can it be regarded as truly cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

It was time to find a way to capture Zhang Ren alive, in order to ask him about Zhang Li's whereabouts.

Not to mention, there is also a "big army".

"Ru Yushi doesn't need to be angry." Zhu Di stepped forward and said. "Although I don't know exactly what happened, but I think about it, it should be me and the second brother who inadvertently ruined the big thing that you and the fifth brother planned tonight."

"Aren't there still people who have escaped out of the city? This responsibility is borne by the king and the second brother, and those thieves who have escaped from the city will be arrested and tortured by you. ”

Seeing that King Yan dared to act, Ru Taisu's face improved a little. Zhu Su smiled and said, "Fourth brother doesn't have to abolish that Zhou Zhang. ”

"The east is not bright and the west is bright, he ran Zhang Ren over there, but I also caught a thief here."

beckoned, and asked Chen Hui, who was tied up with five flowers, to come up. Ru Taisu and the others on the side looked at it and were a little unconvinced. Zhu Fan also grinned: "Why are you still a female?" ”

"A woman can also be the head of a thief?"

"Second brother, don't despise her. This woman's background is not small. Zhu Su smiled, smiling like a weasel who stole a chicken: "Her name is Chen Hui, but Chen Youliang's own daughter!" ”

"Yoh?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, Zhu Fan's eyes immediately changed, and he looked Chen Hui up and down: "Then how can Chen Jiusi give birth to such a handsome girl?" ”

Zhu Su was embarrassed for a while, how could he look at the appearance of the second brother, like an old prostitute picked up in the prostitution?

"Phew! Zhu Ming, the puppet king, dares to insult my father! Chen Hui, who had turned his face away and didn't say a word, turned his head and spat directly at Zhu Zhang, Zhu Fan was furious, and he stepped forward to slap her, but Zhu Su quickly stopped: "Second brother, calm down, calm down." ”

"Kill this woman again, Lao Rutou will really want to die with you!"

Feeling Ru Taisu's gaze full of "impeachment" warnings behind him, Zhu Fan finally endured it. Zhu Su waved his hand, and asked people to plug Chen Hui's mouth. Zhu Fan stared at her back and said hatefully: "Fifth brother, the matter of torturing this woman will be handed over to your second brother and me." ”

"If you dare to insult me like this, I have to avenge this spit!"

"What kind of anger is the second brother imprisoning with the steps." Zhu Su comforted him while muttering in his heart. This Chen Hui doesn't seem to be easy to get along with. Zhang Ren is her concubine, and when she saw Zhang Ren's head being thrown to the ground, there was not even sadness in her eyes.

Hearing what she was talking about, she must have guessed what kind of torture she would endure next, but her face was still as calm as before.

His mind must be extremely ruthless and deep. Can such a woman extract useful information from her mouth...... Zhu Su felt a little wrong......

After the group gathered, they went to the government together. The first is to send Chen Hui, who was captured alive, and a group of dead soldiers to be imprisoned in the dungeon, and the second is to let Wei Guan and other Suzhou government officials dispatch officers to the government to Zhang Bang and the people. The third is that Zhu Su and Zhu Di have reunited after a long absence, so they naturally have to find a place to rest and talk well.

"Why is the second brother and the fourth brother here? What about the third brother? In the quiet room of the government hall, Zhu Su poured a cup of tea for Zhu Fan and Zhu Di, and asked with a smile.

"Didn't I say it just now, didn't the fourth child and I think that you were alone in Suzhou, and came here to be your companion." Zhu Fan smiled a little far-fetched. "As for the third ......"

"He has been stunned in the palace for the past few days. Even if you flow out of the palace, I am afraid that you will only slip into the imperial village at the foot of Bifeng Mountain. Where would you like to come to Suzhou with us? Zhu Di pursed his lips.

Zhu Su was stunned for a moment and asked him what had happened in the past few days since he left Beijing.

It turned out that after he left Beijing, Lao Zhu was worried that there would be guilty ministers who would not be able to intercede in the prince's mansion, so he turned to coax the young prince who was still ignorant outside the palace to stand up for himself, and for no reason he involved his sons in the whirlpool of the "Jingcha" of the Jinyi Guard, so he summoned Zhu Rong, Zhu Li, and Zhu Di all into the palace.

The three of them finally regained their freedom in the imperial village, and suddenly let them live the kind of life without white and black in the palace, how could they stand it? Within a few days, the three brothers complained, and the third brother Zhu Li was even worse.

When Zhu Su left, Zhu Li had some knowledge of physics and chemistry and showed great interest in it. For his brothers, Zhu Su did not hide the knowledge of later generations, and those manuscripts that must not be seen by others, and he was completely open to Zhu Li. He then plunged headlong into the pile of manuscripts and drawings he had written.

Even when he was recuperating from his illness, Zhu Li "unreasonably" pulled himself up from the bed and asked questions. I also personally went to glass kilns, cement kilns, hydraulic mills and other places to refer to the drawings for inspection and verification, often sitting for a day.

"After you left, he plunged headlong into the steelmaking kiln in the back mountain, where there was little progress. It is said that the so-called steelmaking furnace must be tossed out. When he was dragged back to the palace by his father, he still didn't leave. Zhu Di said.

The third brother actually wanted to toss the steel furnace! There is one thing to say, the steel furnace has failed repeatedly, and the temperature is always not up to standard, and Zhu Su himself is about to give up. After all, he knew so much about steelmaking, and he had already told all the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry.

After all, steelmaking is no better than glass soap, and belongs to heavy industry. Its urgency is not more extensive than that of cement, and it is not something that can be done overnight, and there is no other way to do it quickly.

Thinking of the well-dressed third brother, who was all bare in the steelmaking kiln full of shirtless men, and maybe even shirtless himself, Zhu Su felt a little funny.

"Speaking of the fourth brother, you said that you are exposed. You two must have gone crazy in the palace, so you sneaked out, right? Where is the concern for me? Zhu Su said with a teasing smile.
