Chapter XXXVIII
Zhu Di looked at Fang Zhongjin for a moment, listening to him tell the whole speculation.
What he said is really incredible, but if you break it down and deduce it carefully, it cannot be said that it is impossible.
Zhu Di was dumbfounded for a while, and finally found his voice and asked, "These are all your assumptions, even if the Bai family is indeed killed." Nor can he be connected to Ryan Burr. ”
Fang Zhongjin smiled and said, "It's indeed all the minister's inference." So as long as Bai Suhang arrives, he can ask and understand.
Thinking that in front of the Son of Heaven, Bai Suhang will inevitably tell all the truth. ”
Zhu Di nodded, he turned his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, who was already as pale as earth, and said in a straight tone that could not be seen to be happy or angry: "What about you, what do you want to say?"
Zhu Gaoxu swallowed his saliva and stammered: "Erchen, Erchen......"
Today's Zhu Gaoxu is in a very embarrassing situation. Indeed, he is the one who troubles Fang Zhongjin everywhere.
But he only did it because he was following the advice of his advisers.
At the beginning, through the eyeliner planted in Jinyiwei and Fang Zhongjin's behavior, this advisor deduced that Wan Hongfu might be hiding in the Ruienbo Mansion.
Since Wan Hongfu was really discovered in the Ruienbo Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu has great trust in this adviser.
After that, the advisor told Zhu Gaoxu that the biggest opponent in the DPRK is Fang Zhongjin. If you want to stabilize Ji Gang's strength in Jinyiwei, you must completely kill this rising star.
Since Zhu Gaoxu trusted him, he naturally obeyed his words.
It's just that how he thought of it, he was just a hindrance everywhere, and he actually put himself in the rope of "rebellion".
Zhu Di interrupted: "Forget it, you should sit here and wait for the result." ”
There was silence in the inner sanctum. Although it was daytime, the candle flame that was always burning reflected the golden palace lamp, and in the golden red, everyone was waiting for Bai Suhang's news.
Finally, Zhu Di said to Jiang Dai as if he wanted to break the silence: "Queen, what do you say about my lordship?"
Jiang Dai, who has always been arrogant and self-assured, suddenly heard this question, and his face turned red in an instant.
She glanced at Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the ministers under your command are naturally good. ”
Zhu Di didn't know how many years he hadn't seen the white eyes of others, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's indeed my minister." Since I am the one who can use it, I can't let it be given to you. ”
I don't know how much Zhu Di's words mean. Judging from his expression alone, it was like a tired old man squeezing a girl for fun.
Jiang Dai suppressed the shame on his face, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Now he is a minister under His Majesty the Emperor, and he may be able to say it in the future." ”
This is a bit bold, but Jiang Dai, as the queen of a vassal country, has her own support.
Even the Ming Emperor had to worry that the Queen of the Ryukyus would turn her face and fall to Dongying, who was about to move.
Now the pirates from the east are constantly testing the bottom line of the Ming Sea Frontier. If they hold the springboard of Ryukyu in their hands, the situation will definitely be unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty.
How could Zhu Di have a verbal relationship with a girl? He still laughed and said, "What a powerful girl, let's make a bet......
Before he finished speaking, suddenly someone from the palace hurriedly came to report.
Everyone thought in their hearts: Bai Suhang must be here!
Zhu Di also changed his serious face and asked the palace man: "Is Bai Suhang coming?" ”
The palace man knelt deeply, and the big beads of sweat on his forehead almost wet the vermilion carpet.
I heard his voice tremble and said, "Lord Bai, he ...... Lord Bai, he ......"
Zhu Di was a little angry and said, "What?"
The palace man took a deep breath and said, "Lord Bai, he's dead!"
Not only Zhu Di, but everyone in the entire inner hall was shocked.
Zhu Di hurriedly asked: "Why did you die? When did you die?"
The palace man carefully worded: "It is said that the forbidden army has just arrived outside the White Mansion, and I heard the maids and servants inside shouting." It was said that Lord Bai hanged himself.
As for when, because a little maid said that she had only sent pastries to Lord Bai two hours ago, she should have died within two hours. ”
At this time, Zhu Di's face turned iron-blue. It's not just because Bai Suhang died suddenly, but this clue that was hard to investigate and deal with is broken.
The mystery of Rainberg's death has once again become a dead knot.
is even more because Bai Suhang died suddenly at this moment, and he was obviously killed.
Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaoxu coldly, took a deep breath and asked Fang Zhongjin, "What do you think?" ”
Fang Zhongjin also said with a cold face: "The situation is obvious now. There is an eyeliner of the Injin Pavilion in the Imperial Palace. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill people in such a timely manner. ”
Suddenly, everyone heard a "poof".
I saw Zhu Gaoxu kneeling on the ground and walking towards Zhu Di's knees.
With tears in his eyes, he grabbed the corner of Zhu Di's clothes in a panic, and said loudly: "Father, father." Someone is trying to frame me!
Zhu Di's eyes shot like electricity on Zhu Gaoxu's tearful face, and asked, "Today's incident, if you hadn't suddenly come to my palace to complain, it would never have happened."
Why is it that someone is trying to frame you now?"
Zhu Gaoxu cried: "Erchen is being used by others! Someone is using Erchen to fool your father!"
Zhu Di was a little annoyed and said, "You said that someone was using you." Then you say, who is taking advantage of you?"
Zhu Gaoxu's face was a little confused, he turned his head to look at Fang Zhongjin, and suddenly pointed at him with a firm expression and said: "It must be him! Where is such a clever method? It must be that he deliberately set up a situation for me to drill!"
Why did the Bai family die, didn't his subordinates say it? Fuzhou was so far away that the imperial court could not verify it for a while.
deliberately exposed flaws to lead me to sue my father. and calculated step by step, that is, I wanted to make a fool of myself in front of my father.
In the end, killing Bai Suhang led all the suspicions to me!"
In the end, Zhu Gaoxu became fierce, pointed at Fang Zhongjin, and said angrily: "What a great ability! What a deep scheming! Father, this man's wolf ambition can't be kept!"
Zhu Di sighed, and said secretly in his heart: Whose son is this? I still haven't seen who harmed him.
Although he thought so in his heart, he did not show any joy or anger on his face.
In the face of such an accusation, Fang Zhongjin seemed to be as steady as Mount Tai, and said: "I don't know what flaws His Royal Highness the King of Han refers to when he says 'deliberately revealing flaws'?"
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, his uncontrollable emotions were stagnant, and he said: "You, you pretend to reveal the news, saying that after this matter is done, Ji Changan will ask his father for a marriage......
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "What is the purpose of asking for and what kind of marriage is given? Isn't he already engaged to the girl of the Xie family?"
Why does he think differently and think about other girls?"
What Zhu Di is thinking about now is also the most reasonable explanation on the surface.
If Ji Changan didn't have another new love, but he was worried that he had a marriage contract, he wouldn't have asked Zhu Di for marriage.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Di hesitantly, and then glanced at Fang Zhongjin. He knew that if he dodged again, he would only be more suspicious in the eyes of his father.
simply put everything together, but the father would not really treat himself as a son.
After Zhu Gaoxu figured it out, he suddenly knelt on his lap as if he had lost his strength.
His face turned pale, he opened his mouth, and finally said weakly: "A few days ago, Erchen suddenly got news. said that Ji Changan and Fang Zhongjin were planning to ask their father for marriage after the case was concluded, and the object of the marriage was to solve the bell of the girl. ”
