"Kill you bastard!"

"Come on, the master won't let you lack arms and legs today, and live this life in vain."

There was a crowd of people in front of me, and there was shouting and swearing, and then screaming and dust, blocking the street.

It seems that someone is fighting.

The punishment for fights and quarrels on the street is very severe in "Da Ming Law", which was fine just now, how could it suddenly start fighting.

Zhang Yu felt more and more uneasy, and protected Zhu Bai and instructed his subordinates: "Be careful, everyone, let's go around the alley next to us." ”

As a result, as soon as they walked into the alley, more than a dozen masked men suddenly appeared at the mouth of the alley and on the wall at both ends and surrounded them.

The man in black on the wall, with a bow and arrows.

Zhang Yu took Zhu Bai in his arms and turned his back to the bow and arrow, using his body as a meat shield to protect Zhu Bai and rush towards the mouth of the alley.

The rich and noble open the way ahead.

The alley was too narrow for them to open at all, and one person could block them up.

They can only wait to be a live target.

Zhu Bai said: "Squat." ”

Fugui immediately squatted.

The man at the mouth of the alley didn't know why, and then there was a bang "bang", and he felt a burning chest, and blood gushed out from his bow, and he didn't have time to make a sound, so he fell forward.

The others couldn't shoot Zhu Bai when they saw it, and they were still being used as a live target at any time, and they all dispersed with a "hula".

"Don't chase after the poor." Zhu Bai said.

Fugui stepped forward and lifted the veil of the man who had already breathed on the ground.

Good noodles are ......

Fugui said: "Lord Wang, what should I do, will I go to the Midtown Soldiers and Horses Division to arrest people at this time?" ”

Zhu Bai said: "There are too few of us to catch them if we go." The city gate will be closed immediately, anyway, they won't be able to run away until the city gate is opened tomorrow morning, so it's better to go back and call the Qi people to come and arrest it. ”

The key is that he always feels that this matter has not been fully investigated, so he is afraid that he will miss a big fish by arresting people.

Moreover, the bows that those people held were not soft bows used by ordinary people, but hard bows used by the army.

Those old fritters of the Terracotta Division can't be pulled away at all.

Obviously, someone wants to blame the Terracotta Division.

This person who blames the trouble is thoughtful and strategic, and it is really wonderful to choose this location as an ambush.

Therefore, he will not leave obvious flaws that they can track down at once.

Fugui and Zhang Yu didn't dare to stay any longer, so they escorted Zhu Bai straight back to the palace.

met Zhu Li, who came back in a hurry, at the gate of the palace.

According to Zhu Li's speed, at this time, half of the city should not be finished patrolling.

Zhu Bai asked in surprise, "Huh?" Third brother, why did you come back? ”

Zhu Li said: "My father said that there was an urgent matter and called me back. ”

Then Zhu Di and the others also came back one after another, and they were all called back by Lao Zhu.

The six princes in charge of the soldiers and horses are all here.

-------

Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang were waiting in the imperial study.

Zhu Yuanzhang briefly talked about what Zhu Bai had found.

The six princes all looked solemn.

Zhu Li's face was even more red and white.

Lao Zhu said: "Now that the gang has known about the exposure, I'm afraid they will try to cover it up." Therefore, I have asked you to come back quickly, so that you should immediately go to your respective districts to stop those people from killing people or destroying goods. You can't let these corrupt officials do any more evil, you know? ”

Zhu Bai's five brothers responded in unison.

Lao Zhu said to Zhu Li: "Third child, I know that this matter has nothing to do with you. After all, you've only been in charge of the Soldiers and Horses Division for two months, and these people are cunning and extremely hidden, and even I have been kept in the dark for so many years. ”

He didn't even know when these people started, and they had been arrogant under their noses for so many years.

And according to their method, it means that even if he buys things from outside the palace, he has to pay them 20% of the "protection fee".

I don't know who the emperor is, it's so lawless! It hurts his self-esteem so much!!

Zhu Li knew that this was Lao Zhu comforting him.

If there is really no sign at all, why did Zhu Bai find a problem when he went to see it once.

He blushed and bowed his head: "It's Erchen who is arrogant and casual on weekdays, and he doesn't care." Erchen will investigate carefully and wipe out this gang of thieves who are corrupt and pervert the law. ”

The five princes went out at once.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Bai had been silent and thoughtful, and coughed dryly: "I sent people to follow you, but I am also afraid that you will be in danger." ”

Zhu Bai found out such a big thing in three times and two times, and he realized that he had underestimated Zhu Bai.

Picking up balls, crying and whatever, it's all about going in and investigating.

Zhu Bai grinned heartlessly: "Erchen also felt strange, and asked to play, but he didn't expect to find out such a big thing." ”

In fact, what he was thinking at this moment was: Iniquity. Got into such trouble.

If we don't track it down, I'm afraid it won't be able to be uprooted. These people are so bold that they dare to attack him.

If the investigation is less than torture, I am afraid that it will be widely implicated.

That's why he had to check quietly on his own at first.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the worry hidden behind his smile, and said lightly: "I will definitely find out." It doesn't matter who dies, it's not your fault, it's their own. ”

Zhu Bai's mind spun quickly, and he said, "Ah, father, let's make a bet, this Lan Du commander is not the real person behind the scenes. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Hehe, don't come." ”

Of course, I knew that Commander Lan Du was not really the one behind the scenes.

I also know who's really behind the scenes!

With such a clear bet that you will lose, how could I promise you to take advantage of you in vain?!

Zhu Bai looked depressed: "Tossing for a long time, busy in vain." ”

He risked going out in the middle of the night for days on end.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled angrily: "Little rabbit cub, there is only money in his eyes." How can you work in vain? The sooner you find out, the people of Yingtian and even the world will be less exploited by them. ”

Think about it, businessmen will definitely not trade at a loss, if they want to guarantee profits and have to pay so much money to the tooth shop, what can they do? It can only lower the receiving price of the production area and raise the retail price of the sold land.

The most pitiful thing is not the merchants, but the people who are invisibly exploited.

Zhu Bai sighed: Yes, yes, yes. But at the end of the day, it still has nothing to do with me. I'm not a prince, so I don't care what he does to help the world......

The second tiger came in, as if he had something to say.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If you have something, just say it." What are you talking about? ”

Erhu said: "His Royal Highness King Xiang was blocked in the alley and was almost in danger. ”

Lao Zhu gasped and was furious: "What's the matter...... Who is so bold? ”

Erhu said: "One died, and the others ran away and didn't catch it." At that time, there were many people on the street, and the incident happened suddenly. ”

Lao Zhu gritted his teeth: "Give me a good check." It's really lawless, dare to murder the prince in broad daylight, what's the difference between this and rebellion? ”

Erhu: "I've been checking." ”

Lao Zhu: "Is it so difficult?" Check which one is dead, don't you know? ”

Erhu: "The ministers went to chase the killer, and the corpse when they came back was gone." ”

------

At night, Juxian Tower was lit on fire.

The weather is dry and dry, and it burns all over the sky in a moment.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities rushed to extinguish the fire, but it did not affect other houses.
