There might be some correspondence or notes hidden in the bowl of food. At least that's what Zhu Gaoxu guessed.
But Liu Ying and his companions tried almost every grain of rice and every piece of vegetable, but still found nothing. The guards even smashed the bowl into pieces, only to find that it was just a rough bowl.
Zhu Gaoxu paced back and forth in the main room, his face changing from gloomy to bright.
The vague clues seemed to test his patience and mock his mind, which made Zhu Gaoxu a little angry. He must dig out the forces hiding in the shadows!
Wang Bin clasped his fists and said carefully, "As long as the prince gives the order, the brothers will go to Liuba Village to arrest all those people and torture them to extract a confession!"
Zhu Gaoxu did not comment, but raised his head and said, "This woman's whereabouts are strange. If she is a spy, there may be a powerful force behind her. Otherwise, how dare she keep an eye on me and th
In Kunning Palace, Empress Xu finished reading the letter in her hand and gently placed it on the table. There was a smile on her face and she seemed to be in a good mood.She turned to Miao Jin and said, "The child has grown up and has become more sensible. Gao Xu is becoming more and more thoughtful. Last time he came to the palace and asked me if I was feeling well, I just mentioned that I often had headaches. I didn't expect that Gao Xu had just arrived in Yunnan and sent a eunuch named Wang Gui to Beijing to bring Panax notoginseng, saying that the Panax notoginseng from Yunnan could cure headaches..."When Empress Xu said this, a hint of sadness suddenly appeared on her face. "Gao Xu has been away from Beijing for almost half a year, right?"The eunuch next to him hurriedly said carefully, "Your Majesty, the King of Han has been away from the capital for five months."Empress Xu nodded.When Miao Jin heard the words "noble prince" and "givi
The season has arrived in summer, and the morning in Fucheng, Yunnan is still a bit cool.Zhu Gaoxu got up early in the morning and took more than 300 soldiers with his personal guards and garrison, each carrying a weight of sixty kilograms, and ran twice around the spacious three main halls of the palace.By the time he arrived at the study to the east of Chengyun Hall, it was already broad daylight.As a prince of the Ming Dynasty, he really had nothing serious to do, but Zhu Gaoxu maintained a positive fighting spirit after getting up every day!Although there are only over 700,000 Han Chinese in the entire Yunnan Chief Envoy Department, Zhu Gaoxu also believes that this is his new starting point; at least in terms of strength, he has only three or four thousand troops compared to the capital, and he is still being watched by a large group of people. A hundred times stronger.There are two invitations on the desk in the study. One was sent by
In the moment when people are unprepared, they have no thoughts in their minds. There is no more weighing, no more right or wrong, people suddenly return to their most instinctive state, and they do not even know the reason for their actions.Zhu Gaoxu turned his head when he heard the voice, and before his eyes flashed the pale skin as white as snow, which matched the eyes like the abyss very well. Then came the glowing sword blade!"Hiss..." A tiny sound of the sword blade trembling slightly was heard in the air.Just like a situation: that is, the sword blade does not seem to be too fast, but when you see it, it is already in front of you.Zhu Gaoxu's muscles all over his body tensed instantly, he leaned over and stood up, and accurately grasped the sword blade with the thumb, index and middle fingers of his left hand! The sword blade slid forward, slowing down the attack, and Zhu Gaoxu's lower palm and tiger's mouth immediately felt stinging pain.
“We’ve caught him!”A voice came from outside the door, and Zhu Gaoxu and others looked sideways. Trial Hundred Household Wang Yu walked quickly into the guardhouse, knelt on one knee, and said, "Commander Wang ordered me to hurry back to report to His Majesty that the brothers have arrested four people in Liuba Village!"Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Who are they?"Wang Yu said, "In reply to Your Majesty, in addition to that woman, there is also a man from Liuba Village and his wife and two children. Commander Wang is searching for evidence while sending people to send all the criminals back to the palace."It seems that the female assassin has not been caught? Zhu Gaoxu said, "Detain them separately.""Understood!" said Wang Yu.When the prisoners arrived at the palace, they were temporarily detained in a house on the east side of Duanli Gate. Zhu Gaoxu wanted to know who they were and he was a little impatient.Zhu Gaoxu quickly arrived at the
Last year, Lian Ying went to assassinate Yongle Emperor Zhu Di. He rode straight at Zhu Di with a sharp weapon and was cut into pieces in a matter of seconds. Zhu Di definitely didn't feel threatened. He was only angry about Lian Ying's attitude of not supporting him.But today, when Zhu Gaoxu was assassinated, the target was not him, but he really felt threatened!Therefore, in addition to being interested in Duan Yang's inside story, Zhu Gaoxu also kept the assassin in mind.He then said, "I am still confused, and I hope Mrs. Duan can clear it up. Since Mrs. Duan has a deep hatred for the Mu family, why did she rush to send an assassin to assassinate Mu Xiaoniang? Mu Xiaoniang is a teenage girl, What's the use of killing her?"Duan Yang frowned and said, "Then Mu Xiaoniang's name is Mu Zhen, Xuhen wants to kill her? This is not my intention.""Xuehen... Duan Xuehen?" Zhu Gaoxu read it again.Duan Yang said, "There is one thing I must tell
Duan Yang's words confirmed many of Zhu Gaoxu's speculations and judgments. He stopped the conversation and didn't want to ask any more questions.After walking out of the room, Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, lowered his head and thought, and walked towards the study next to Chengyun Hall. After a whole afternoon of hard work, it was almost the evening hour.Zhu Gaoxu thought about it again in his mind and thought that Duan Yang's explanation of the cause and effect of the Liyuan assassination was more credible. At least it was the most reasonable explanation that could be imagined at present.Zhu Gaoxu stopped on the wide brick floor outside the front hall and turned to the guards beside him and said, "While the various offices are still on duty, you should hurry to the guard office and inform Wang Bin or Hou Hai. Ask him to order the brothers at the Rongshu Street stronghold to clear the stronghold and evacuate immediately."The sergeant clasped his f
Night has completely fallen outside the study door, and the light of the lanterns on all sides has gradually pierced the night.Inside the room, Mrs. Shen Xu lay weakly on her side on the cold wooden floor, crying bitterly with tears flowing all over the floor, and the makeup on her face was stained. As soon as she was let go, while crying, she quickly stretched out her arms and pulled up her skirt. Then he pulled up his shirt to cover his shoulders. He grabbed the collar tightly with both hands and pulled it toward the middle, completely covering his body.For some reason, the pain only came slowly now, causing her body to tremble and her mind to be in a mess. The chaos in her heart was not only the indignation of having her innocence tarnished, but also the hidden worry and humiliation.She was worried, because women were not like men who could just do it easily. The moment she was raped, she thought about the possibility of getting pregnant. Not every wom
The night is getting darker, and the scene in the palace is even more gorgeous under the lights.Zhu Gaoxu did not go back to his palace, but went straight to Du Qianrui's place, because even if Du Qianrui noticed something, she would not tell it.Among the corridors on both sides of the palace, one of the courtyards is Du Qianrui's residence. Zhu Gaoxu sat down at the table and waited for her to prepare some food and wine for the table; he hadn't had dinner yet.At this time, Zhu Gaoxu raised his sleeves and brought it to his nose to smell it a few times. There was still a faint smell of Shen Xu's body.Sure enough, Du Qianrui didn't ask anything. She brought up the jug, poured the wine for Zhu Gaoxu with her own hands, and said softly, "After I have eaten, I will drink two glasses of wine with the prince.""You sit down too." Zhu Gaoxu said nicely."Thank you, Your Majesty." Du Qianrui took her seat and asked cautiously, "Does Your Majest
