Zhu Fan couldn't dodge, so he could only step forward: "Return to my father." Yesterday, Erchen and his twelfth brother bumped into a small thief in Xicheng. The thief didn't know the height of the sky and wanted to steal the things of the twelfth brother, but when the twelfth brother found out, he jumped over the wall in a hurry. However, he soon released the twelfth brother. Seeing that the twelfth brother was not injured, the son did not report it to his father. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly: "What about the thief?" Did you catch it? ”

Zhu Fan hesitated and replied, "No." ”

Because of Deng Zhiqiu's matter yesterday, he didn't bother to go to Deng Xi later.

didn't talk to Deng Di, no matter what he said at this time, it was wrong.

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said: "The two of you brought seven or eight guards, and there are so many people in the Soldiers and Horses Division, you can't even catch a little thief." So what do you need the soldiers and guards for? Come on, arrest them all for me, and send them to the Criminal Department for a good trial! ”

Zhu Fan complained bitterly in his heart: It's over, after entering the Criminal Department, Commander Zhao Du will definitely not dare to hide it anymore.

Zhu Bai tilted his head and pondered: No, no, if Liu Shenguo really only wants to clean up the ills of Xicheng, he can disperse the court and find Lao Zhu alone, why should he speak in front of hundreds of civil and military officials in the court?

He obviously wanted Lao Zhu to think that Zhu Fan was in cahoots with the Deng family, and then deduced that Zhu Fan would be even more lawless after going to the fiefdom, so he postponed letting Zhu Fan become a vassal.

Tsk, it's good to be able to stop the separation.

I don't care what method Liu Shenstick uses.

I'll just watch the excitement quietly.

Zhu Yuanzhang caught a glimpse of Zhu Bai as well-behaved as a quail, and frowned slightly: No, I am all confused.

Catching thieves should be the work of Tianfu Yin and the guards of Xicheng.

There is Deng Di in the guards of Xicheng, Deng Zhiqiu's uncle.

It's that Deng Zhiqiu again!!

Although Empress Ma didn't say it, he already knew about Chinese New Year's Eve and yesterday.

In order to let Zhu Fan marry Wang Xiaoyue obediently, he was asked to marry Deng Zhiqiu.

As a result, Deng Zhiqiu, a woman, is like a plague god, since she married Zhu Zhang, she has made Zhu Fan more and more unreasonable day by day.

"Wait." Zhu Yuanzhang stopped Erhu, who was about to catch people, and looked at Zhu Fan again, "The Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division is in charge of King Qin. This matter was left to the King of Qin to deal with. ”

Zhu Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly gave up his hand: "Yes, father." ”

-----

Zhu Yuanzhang went down to the court and said to Zhu Bai: "You don't want to patrol the city today, stay at home with me and your eldest brother to watch the twists and turns." ”

He asked Zhu Bai not to interfere in Zhu Zhang's affairs. The key is that he is also a little afraid, he can't imagine that in Yingtianfu, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are people who dare to steal and loot in broad daylight.

Zhu Baizheng was eager and replied very well-behaved: "Okay." ”

The other five princes retired to Zhu Yuanzhang and went to patrol the city.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Erhu again: "These days, people have been staring at King Qin. Who he saw and what he said, I will know. ”

"Yes." The second tiger hurriedly gave up.

Zhu Bai was a little excited: Eh, say. Is this the prototype of Jinyiwei?

Zhu Yuanzhang waited until he entered the imperial study, and only Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai were around before asking, "What do you two think?" ”

Zhu Biao has always loved his younger brothers. Even if Zhu Fan was really wrong, he wouldn't have spoken out in front of the ministers just now.

Zhu Bai's little slippery head is even more so, obviously pretending to be stupid.

Zhu Biao frowned: "Erchen can't understand it for the time being." ”

It's a strange thing to say.

Even if Zhu Fan was careless at the time and let people run away, if he really wanted to take people, he asked the guards of Xicheng and the officials of Ying Tianfu to send a few out at will, and he could catch people back in an hour.

That is, Zhu Fan doesn't want to take people.

He hasn't figured out the mystery yet, so it's hard to speak out.

"You're not wrong to be cautious. After all, you are not a party. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and asked Zhu Bai again, "What about you?" You are a bitter master, with your temper, you have to make trouble for three points if you ignore it, and now you are reasonable and silent, what is so strange? ”

Zhu Bai shook his head: "I'm still a child." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Do you think that this thief can't be caught, it has nothing to do with you?" You are the Governor of the Five Cities Terracotta Division. Whoever makes a mistake will be counted on your head. ”

Zhu Bai's heart came and went: grass, no wonder you have to pull me, the co-authoring is to force me to take the blame for them.

In that case, what am I doing with others? Hurry up and shake the pot!

He smacked his lips, tilted his head and said, "Erchen doesn't understand, why can't he catch the thief and count it on the head of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses......"

Hehe, although it is said that the Five Cities Terracotta Division occasionally maintains law and order, it is not explicitly determined that the Terracotta Division has the duty and right to arrest bandits.

If you want to do the math, don't really want to put this pot on my head!

Zhu Yuanzhang exchanged a look of surprise with Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao muttered: "No wonder so many people couldn't catch the thief at that time, they really didn't want to catch it." ”

If you catch it, you will have no merit, and if you don't do it, you will offend the Criminal Department and the guards of Xicheng, and you will be involved in a book that oversteps your authority.

With Zhu Rong's pig brain, where did he think of so much at once, he must have been pulled by the commander.

Zhu Yuanzhang twisted his eyebrows: He didn't expect this just now, he just thought that Zhu Fan wanted to show favoritism.

Fortunately, let Zhu Fan deal with it himself, otherwise Zhu Fan may be blamed.

-----

Zhu Fan left the palace and went straight to Xicheng, but when he arrived outside the guard's mansion, he didn't go in, but let his guards go in and call Deng Di out.

Although few of the guards in Xicheng had seen him, he could recognize him by looking at the tooth card and court clothes, and he probed his brain inside.

When the commander heard that Zhu Fan was coming, he hurriedly came out of it to greet him.

Zhu Fan waved his hand: "I, Lord Deng, will leave after saying two words." Command, let your Excellency get busy. ”

The commander knew the relationship between him and Deng Di, and arched his hand and went in.

Deng Di heard yesterday that Zhu Fan had come to Xicheng, and the king of Xiang was almost taken away, so he was worried for a long time.

When he came out at this time, he saw that Zhu Fan looked unkind, but he was not afraid.

Even if Zhu Fan found out, there is no evidence anyway.

Besides, for the sake of Deng Zhiqiu's face, Zhu Fan will also cover it up for him.

Otherwise, Deng Yu will be implicated, and Deng Zhiqiu will not have a good time.

Zhu Fan held back his anger: "Yesterday's incident, presumably Lord Deng already knows." What are you going to do with that thief? ”

Deng Di said lightly: "I have already killed." The bodies were burned to ashes. ”

Zhu Fan was stunned for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think that killing this thief can cover this matter?" ”

Deng Di smiled and said, "Relying on Weichen alone, it will definitely not be able to cover it." Only His Highness is tired. ”

Zhu Fan was almost mad, and he didn't care if he was outside, whether anyone was watching, and grabbed Deng Di's collar: "Are you crazy to dare to talk to this king like this?" ”

Deng Di was not afraid or hiding at all, and looked at Zhu Fan fixedly: "Does Your Highness feel that you are innocent?" Where did Your Highness think the gold and jade jewelry and fur coats I gave to Zhiqiu on weekdays? ”
