Chapter 162: Border Warfare

Zhu Zhanji's face was incredible.

"You're also here for the Copper-Faced Man's business? Did you find any clues? ”

Zhu Gaosui shook his head.

"That's not it, it's just that last night, the copper-faced man sneaked into our two mansions, and many people saw it. It's a pity we couldn't catch people. ”

It's incredible.

When Zhu Zhanji wanted to continue to get to the bottom of it, the two people had already entered the main hall directly.

He stood still and did not move, watching the backs of the two people disappear into the temple door, with a puzzled expression.

"Why did the copper-masked man go to the mansion of the two of them?"

The prime minister beside him was also confused.

"I think it's incredible, too. They shouldn't be, shouldn't they be ......"

He stopped before he finished his words, as if he was worried.

Zhu Zhanji glanced at him.

"Grandpa Huang can always see everything, I don't think they should dare to say anything."

At this time, Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxuan had already arrived in the main hall and knelt on the ground respectfully.

After the salute, Zhu Gaosui spoke.

"Back to my father's words, just last night, the copper-faced man sneaked into the mansion of his son, and many people in the mansion saw it with their own eyes. The guards chased after him, but he couldn't catch the man, but he saw the man go straight west. ”

Zhu Di was still thinking about yesterday's deduction in his heart at this time, and he was absent-minded, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the words.

"You're sure your men are right. That person is really the Bronze Man. ”

Zhu Gaosui nodded.

"You can't be mistaken, the body shape is exactly the same as the copper-faced man we saw before."

Zhu Gaoxuan, who was beside him, also opened his mouth at this time, "The copper-faced man came out of my mansion and then went to King Zhao's mansion, and he also looted some money in our mansion. ”

Zhu Di was a little confused.

You can't make a mistake with the results of the deduction.

The bronze-faced man will definitely come to see him today.

Will these two people be thieves shouting to catch thieves?

It doesn't seem likely.

But will the Copper-Masked really go to their mansion?

He hesitated.

"Since the man is heading all the way west, then I will arrange for a thorough investigation of this matter, and if nothing else, you can retreat."

He's a bit quick to give the eviction order.

After Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaosui glanced at each other, they didn't say anything more, and were ready to retire directly.

Zhu Di's gaze fell on Zhu Gaoxuan's lap at this time.

"It seems that your last cane injury is not completely healed, it is better to rest at home, if you are fine, don't come out and run around."

Zhu Gaoxuan lowered his head slightly.

"Yes!"

Zhu Di spoke again.

"I see you're recovering a little slowly. I'll have someone take care of it for you later. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan's face changed slightly.

Of course, he could hear that Zhu Di's drunkard did not mean to drink.

He was clearly suspicious of his injuries......

Under the guise of showing his own injuries, he wanted to verify whether he and the copper-faced man were the same person.

But his injuries are obviously all good.

The reason why it is awkward when I walk is that I am acting.

If the imperial doctor visits, he can't hide it.

Then your identity will be found out if you don't get it right......

But at this time, he can't refuse, otherwise it will only arouse his suspicion even more.

Zhu Gaoxuan was apprehensive in his heart, but he still had to clasp his fists and salute.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Out of the door of the main hall, Zhu Gaosui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father is determined to get the bronze-faced man this time. If that person really went all the way west, then we were sure we could catch him. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't respond.

Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a moment.

"What are you worried about?"

Only then did Zhu Gaoxuan come back to his senses.

"Nothing, just had tea at your place last time and it tasted good. And your subordinate named Zhang San, the level of making tea is really good. Can you ask him to bring me some more tea? ”

The last time Zhu Gaoxuan drank tea at Zhu Gaosui's place, he was full of praise for his family's tea, and then took some with him when he left.

I guess I've already finished drinking.

His little request, Zhu Gaosui naturally did not refuse.

"When I got back, I asked him to send it over. It's just that he was reprimanded by the rod for making mistakes before, and now he is not recovering very well, and it is estimated that it will be later to pass! ”

After the two left, Zhu Di directly sent someone to track down in the direction of the west of the city.

Although he will be skeptical of the words of the two people, he would rather believe them than believe them.

By this time, it was almost noon.

At this time, no one will come to ask for verification.

Four people came at noon, but Zhu Di felt that none of them looked like the copper-faced man.

He ate his lunch without knowing what to do, and then continued to wait.

But I never dreamed that I waited from noon to night, and I didn't even wait for a ghost.

Could it be that the bronze-faced man was among the four?

But how is that possible?

Zhu Di was irritable and puzzled.

At this time, someone outside replied that it was Dr. Li who had returned.

Imperial Doctor Li is a close confidant of Zhu Di, and he was sent to Zhu Gaoxuan's side to help him see his injuries.

Of course, it is true to look at the injury, but it is true to explore the truth......

Although Zhu Di didn't believe that Zhu Gaoxuan and the copper-faced man would be the same person, he still had some doubts about him because of the similar figures of Zhu Gaoxuan and the copper-faced man.

Imperial Physician Li quickly entered the main hall and knelt on the ground to salute.

After Zhu Di sent the people in the house out, he let Master Li get up.

"Gao Xuan's injury, you can see it for yourself."

The old imperial doctor replied respectfully.

"I've seen it before. It was almost recovered, but then the wound was torn open. It is probably because the prince usually does not exercise moderation. ”

Everyone in Kyoto knows that Zhu Gaoxuan is lustful, and it is not surprising that he sneaked out with Xiangxiang girl Yunyu two days ago, and he would tear his wounds......

Zhu Di frowned slightly.

"Is the wound new or the old?"

Imperial Doctor Li hurriedly replied.

"The subordinate looks like it should be an old wound, probably torn two or three days ago."

Is it because I am thinking too much?

Zhu Di frowned and asked again.

"What's wrong with his mansion?"

The Imperial Physician shook his head......

He was about to answer when he heard some chaotic footsteps outside, and then someone answered outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, there is a war report from the northwest."

The neighbors in the northwest are far away, and compared with other neighbors, they are relatively more peaceful, and they have never taken the initiative to invade the Ming Dynasty.

Why is there a battle report coming from there all of a sudden?

Zhu Di was puzzled in his heart, and hurriedly called the messenger in.

The messenger was in the dust, and brought the secret report with both hands.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the northwest is high and far, frequently offending our border, two days ago he actually sent a large army to take our border city, our side suffered heavy losses, the commander General Liu, vomited blood and died......"
