Wu House.

Wu Wanggeng sat in the hall, and there were a few people who sat down with him.

The door was closed, the candlelight was dim, and everyone's faces were very ugly.

Wu Wanggeng picked up the teacup, as if he wanted to drink tea, but his hands trembled very much, and he saw that the tea in the cup was about to swing out.

He didn't end up drinking, but put the teacup down.

When the cup touched the table, the tea finally overflowed, dripping, dripping, and falling to the ground along the table.

"Big brother, you don't have to worry too much."

One of the people at the bottom spoke: "Although the assassination of Zhu Yunxi failed, we didn't leave any handle. ”

"These outlaws who assassinated His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun have all been killed."

"What they do has nothing to do with our Wu family."

Wu Wanggeng was a little settled in his heart.

Ever since he saw Zhu Yunxi fleeing in a carriage, he felt violently uneasy.

"The last little girl to save Zhu Yunxi today is Xu Miaojin, the daughter of the King of Zhongshan?"

He said in disbelief: "I always feel that the little girl seems to have finally looked at me, and may have seen me." ”

"Big brother, you also have too much heart." The man at the bottom smiled: "Don't say that it was so far away at that time, even if you see it, you can't see it clearly." ”

"Besides, even if she sees it clearly, she doesn't know you, so why worry about it."

As soon as the words fell, a "bang" suddenly sounded outside, and the gate of the outer courtyard of the Wu Mansion was forcibly broken.

"Oh no, no, sir, there are a lot of brocade guards outside."

……

"What crime did Wu commit, and why did you break into the house at night?"

Wu Wanggeng suppressed the fear in his heart and asked sharply.

Jin Yiwei found out so quickly?

No way!

I'm afraid it will take days just to verify the identity of the Black Assassin.

Moreover, even if the man in black is found, he will not be involved in the Wu Mansion.

What's more, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, will definitely try to cover it up secretly.

How is it possible, Jinyiwei will come to the door tonight?

Zhu Yunxi looked at Wu Wangeng and said, "You are Wu Wanggeng, the head of the Wu family?" ”

Wu Wanggeng said: "The grass people are exactly. ”

"Good!" Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "My name is Zhu Yunxi." ”

"My grandfather is the son of heaven in today's Ming Dynasty."

His tone was very flat, not sad or happy, except that his voice was still very immature and crisp, without any emotion.

But for some reason, Wu Wanggeng heard the murderous intent in his voice.

The murderous intent of a seven-year-old child is as sharp as a knife, which is chilling.

"When I was hunting from Yangshan to return to the sky, I was assassinated."

"I have found out that the person who assassinated me was instructed by your Wu Mansion."

Wu Wangeng was terrified in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This is impossible, my Wu family has always been law-abiding, and I would never dare to do such a rebellious thing." ”

"Does His Royal Highness have any evidence?"

Zhu Yunxi looked up at him, his eyes didn't blink, and he suddenly said, "I saw you, and you were secretly watching not far away." ”

Rumble!

It was like a thunderbolt that suddenly fell.

Wu Wanggeng's body stumbled and fell to the ground.

Next to him, another member of the Wu family shouted: "Fight with them, kill!" ”

The people of the Wu family suddenly rushed towards Zhu Yunxi as if they were crazy.

They don't want to sit back, they want to fight to the death.

"Choke! Choke! ”

The sound of drawing a knife sounded, and Jin Yiwei made a simple and sharp move.

Burst!

Blood splattered for several feet.

Zhu Yunxi's face was expressionless, and he said softly: "Actually, I didn't see you, I lied to you." ”

It's a pity that the dead can't hear this sentence.

Jin Yiwei's knife, very quickly.

After a while, all the people of the Wu family fell in a pool of blood.

Jiang Zhen didn't make a move, he always guarded Zhu Yunxi's side to prevent him from being attacked by others, and also observed his expression from time to time.

Compared with the first time, Zhu Yunxi has grown a lot.

There was no fear in his eyes.

He watched it all with his eyes open, calm and numb.

Jiang Xuan opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

After all the people in the Wu family were killed, Zhu Yunxi did not leave, but strode into Wu Wanggeng's study.

The men and horses of the Jinyi Guard poured in.

"Search, every corner, every book, every piece of paper, you must search carefully."

He wasn't sure if the Wu family would leave some clues about the connection with the mastermind behind it, but he was unwilling to let go of any opportunity.

Jin Yiwei immediately rummaged through the cabinets and found it.

"Look, there's a secret door here."

A brocade-clad guard exclaimed.

Zhu Yunxi was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect anything to gain, but he didn't expect it to be?

After walking in, I found that it was actually a mourning hall inside.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were immediately attracted by the words written on the spirit card.

Jiang Zhen was even more shocked and blurted out.

"Wu Wanggeng is a descendant of the Pu family in Quanzhou? He is not surnamed Wu, but surnamed Pu? ”

The dense tablets are all the ancestors of the Pu family, and the one in the middle is Pu Shou Geng in Quanzhou.

Strictly speaking, Pu is not a Han Chinese, but from overseas.

Since the Song Dynasty, he moved to Quanzhou and has been engaged in maritime trade for generations.

Through the monopoly of the overseas spice trade, as well as some illegal means, huge wealth was amassed.

At its peak, the number of slaves and maids in his family reached several thousand.

Later, the Yuan soldiers went south, and Quanzhou gathered a large number of royal relatives and scholars.

Pu Shougeng descended to the Yuan Dynasty and slaughtered more than 3,000 royal relatives and scholars in the Southern Song Dynasty.

As a result, Pu Shougeng was named the general of Zhenguo.

There is a Yuan generation, and the people of the Pu family are officials while doing business, and they are both rich and noble, and they are prosperous for a while.

After Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and ruled the world, he hated what the Pu family had done, and decreed that all people in the Pu family were not allowed to enter the court as officials, and men were slaves for generations and women for prostitution.

Since then, the Pu family has fled everywhere and remained incognito.

"Wu Wanggeng? Don't forget Geng? ”

Zhu Yunxi muttered to himself.

It turns out that the meaning of his name refers not to forget the ancestor Pu Shougeng?

Do you still want to do what Pu Shougeng did in the past and restore the power of the Pu family?

What Suzhou wealthy businessmen, but in disguise.

The real identity is a fugitive from the Pu family.

"There's also a Pu family tree here."

Zhu Yunxi opened the family tree, turned the pages one by one, and there was a familiar name that fell into his eyes.

Bu Sibei!

It turned out that Bu Sibei and Wu Wanggeng were from the same family, and they were both descendants of the Pu family.

The Pu family has been engaged in overseas trade for generations, and Bu Sibei has also become the inspector of Jinling City Wharf.

Although it is nominally a water transport on the Yangtze River, in fact there are many merchants from overseas mixed in......

After changing their name and surname, the Pu family is recovering its former influence little by little?

Jiang Zhen was also shocked there.

All this is in Jinling City, under the nose of Jinyiwei, and he is unaware of it?

If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Fourth Emperor Sun suddenly leading people to kill the Wu family tonight, I'm afraid he would never have found out?

"Your Highness, this matter should be made clear to Your Majesty immediately." Jiang Xuan said immediately.

They had no will tonight, nor had they gone through a judicial trial, and they had committed a big taboo by killing the Wu family without authorization.

Even if there was the assassination of the emperor and grandson in the front, and the Wu family's own resistance in the back, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty still could not let go of this opportunity to attack Jinyiwei.

Zhu Yunxi will also become the target of public criticism.

But if the Wu family is the descendant of the Pu family who absconded, it would be completely different.

Zhu Yunxi closed the family tree, looked at the spirit card again, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which slowly floated and gradually calmed down.

"Not necessarily!" He shook his head, put the Pu clan genealogy into his arms, and said, "Take away all the spirit cards here and seal them." ”

"Also, the discovery of the mourning hall and tablet in this place today is not allowed to reveal half a point to the outside world, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"
