The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 234
From Zhu Gaochi's words, although he didn't say clearly that Xu Miaojin kept sneaking out of Xu's mansion for his own sake.

But Zhu Ying can also easily guess.

"Guo Zhong, immediately send an order to the commanders of the five cities to block the gates of the cities and prevent anyone from going out."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Song Zhong, immediately send an order to Jin Yiwei to search from the direction of Xu Mansion to Yan Wang Mansion. We must find Miss Xu's whereabouts in the shortest possible time."

"The minister obeys the order."

Zhu Ying gave two orders in a row, the first thing was to block the gate of the city.

If you go out of the city, in the environment of ancient times, it is too difficult to search for a person, and it is difficult to get any results.

Like human traffickers, the channels are the most covert, and some even collude with officials, so the information is very well-informed.

Even with the technological means of the later generations, there are many fish that slip through the net, not to mention the current Ming Dynasty.

It can only be said that once he is sneaked out of the city, everything can only be decided by fate.

Hearing the elder brother's order to seal the city gate, Zhu Gaochi felt relieved.

The reason why he rushed over in such a hurry was actually to ask his elder brother to seal the gate of the city.

This is the capital. Conventionally, only the emperor has the power to issue the power to block the city gates, but now Zhu Ying can be said to already have part of the emperor's power.

Zhu Gaochi didn't expect that the elder brother could give orders directly, which made him understand a little while he was breathing heavily, that the elder brother is almost half a grandpa of the emperor.

There is not much difference from the previous uncle.

"The people in the Xu Mansion, you have been in contact with them. Let's talk about the situation at that time carefully. These human traffickers are really daring, even dare to touch the people in the Xu Mansion."

Zhu Ying said.

In fact, in ancient times, human traffickers were regarded as the bottom of the rivers and lakes. Many human traffickers did not use the channel of private plundering, but bought people with money.

They are all organized in themselves, from buying people to selling people, there is a complete chain of interests in the middle, many of them are ordinary people who cannot survive, selling their sons and daughters.

These human traffickers mainly collect people in poor areas and then resell them to big cities.

For example, many dental shops in the capital are resold from other regions.

There are fewer maids and servants in rich families, so they just choose here.

This can be regarded as Bailiu among human traffickers. Although it is shameless to say it, he is still a businessman.

There is also the black stream of abduction and trafficking. In fact, the status of the black stream is lower than that of the white stream.

Most of them are exposed to the business of human trafficking, but they have no capital, so they can only use the form of trafficking and plundering.

Trading without capital is the most profitable.

Of course, in the human trade, the boundary between black and white is not clear, it is very muddy.

But as far as the capital is concerned, not to mention trafficking, even human trafficking is basically only in and out.

Those who can live in the capital, even in poor areas, generally have at least something to eat.

As long as you have a registered residence in the capital, you don't have to worry about food.

Restricted by Zhu Yuanzhang's system, rich merchants and landlords outside the capital could not find a way to attract them to Beijing. At this time, the capital's household registration is useful.

Just marry a maid and come over, consider her a daughter, and be regarded as a son-in-law, so you will have the opportunity to visit relatives.

Many things behind are more convenient to operate.

Therefore, it is basically difficult for people in the capital to see being abducted and sold, let alone the Fourth Miss of the Xu Mansion.

Xu Miaojin, compared to the later generations, he is a proper second generation of power, and he is the top nobleman of Ming Dynasty.

How could such a character be something that those people dared to provoke? They were not at the same level at all.

"The person I contacted this morning was the Xu Mansion who left after nightfall yesterday. It has been almost ten hours now."

"Brother, there is no news so far. The thing I am most worried about is that those kidnappers will kill my aunt after they find out who she is."

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but said.

He had already thought about it in his heart, the person who robbed his aunt probably didn't know her identity, and thought she was a woman from an ordinary wealthy family.

And it must have been known by now, but the person did not come back, which shows that the other party is hesitating, and it is even possible to kill and bury the body.

"Although the capital is big, it is at the feet of the emperor. Jinyiwei has a lot of relationships here, and these people know each other."

"It shouldn't be long before there will be news."

Zhu Ying said.

Zhu Ying is still very confident about Jin Yiwei's ability in the capital. You must know that even the lowest-ranking Jin Yiwei has many helpers.

These helpers can be understood as informants. Every Jinyiwei has a huge number of informants, just like surveillance.

Otherwise, relying on thousands of Jinyiwei to monitor the capital, it would not be able to reach the current level.

Zhu Gaochi nodded, he would never doubt Jin Yiwei's ability.

Up and down the Xu residence, it has become a mess now.

Xu Da has four sons and four daughters in total. Except for the third son who died early, the other three sons are all present.

There are only two younger sisters in the family, and the eldest son Xu Huizu has already shown signs of rage in front of such things.

"It's simply lawless, lawless, even the members of my Xu family dare to move, these people's teeth, I will definitely smash them to pieces!!!"

At this moment, the second son Xu Yingxu and the youngest Xu Zengshou hurried in.

Xu Yingxu said: "Brother, His Highness Gao Chi has already entered the palace, and now the soldiers and horses of the five cities have controlled the gate of the city, there is absolutely no possibility for those people to escape."

"It's just such a big movement, I'm a little worried, whether those people will jump the wall in a hurry."

Xu Huizu forcibly calmed down, and said: "These people have a deep relationship with Yahang, let's go, let's surround Yahang first."

Xu Yingxu replied: "Okay, I'll transfer people there immediately, and I will definitely arrest all the people in the dental practice and interrogate them severely."

Xu Huizu shook his head and said: "No, second brother, you are a hereditary commander. It is a taboo to transfer someone without a transfer order."

"Take our family's guards and contact Jin Yiwei to go there together. At this time, the Xu residence cannot be messed up."

Xu Huizu has succeeded Wei Guogong for many years now, and he still has some political wisdom. If this matter is privately deployed, the impact will be too great, and it may not be of any use.

This is a person hiding in the dark, not on the bright side. The soldiers and horses of the five cities have already started to seal the city, which means that His Majesty has already started to intervene.

Xu Huizu still doesn't know that the order to close the city was directly issued by Zhu Ying.

Because Xu Huizu went to the early court early in the morning, and only after noon did he receive the news from the mansion at the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

"Jin Yiwei? Brother, why should we be with them? Jin Yiwei is notorious now. Relying on them will not tarnish my Xu family's reputation."

"Even if we can't pass, Jin Yiwei will definitely go all out if the palace has spoken. I don't think there is any need to go with them."

Xu Yingxu said with some reluctance.

Although he is a hereditary commander and logically belongs to the series of military officers, he likes poetry and poetry, and he likes dancing and writing, and he often makes friends with a group of literati.

Therefore, he has a very bad feeling towards Jin Yiwei.

"madness!"

Xu Huizu scolded, and then said: "Do you think that the matter of my little sister is really that simple?"

"Even if my little girl sneaks out, whether it's temperament or clothes, those people dare to provoke them?"

"Not only the younger sister, but also the maidservant of the younger sister disappeared together. Who in this capital's territory has such courage."

"From my point of view, I'm afraid that someone here is secretly targeting my Xu family. Now the court seems to be calm, but in fact it is precarious."

"The newly-appeared His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, His Royal Highness Yun Yun, who has not yet been revoked. Although His Majesty is in good health, he is also very old."

"Among them, there may be some people who have some crooked thoughts."

When Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou heard this, they immediately fell silent.

The elder brother's words really made them vigilant.

The appearance of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson had already made many people feel suspicious. The resurrection of a person who had been dead for ten years seemed unreliable no matter how you looked at it.

However, when His Majesty suppressed Daming, no one dared to say anything, even civil servants, all of them were quiet.

Recently, Duke Liang returned to Beijing and summoned his friends everywhere. The nobles of the Huaixi generals group became active.

Many people couldn't understand the changes in the imperial court. No one stood up to question the existence of His Highness the eldest grandson, but no one knew what was going on in his heart.

Sometimes, just an opportunity is missing, and a huge change can be set off.

The disappearance of the younger sister Xu Miaojin is very likely to be a temptation.

The people in Xu's mansion are actually aware of the fact that the little sister sneaked into Yan Wang's mansion.

After all, the guards in Xu's mansion were all soldiers under Xu Da's command. How could Xu Miaojin's actions be hidden from them.

The reason why he was able to go out was the acquiescence of Xu Huizu and others.

After all, that is His Highness the eldest grandson, no one can refuse, and everyone can understand the younger sister's thoughts.

If it can be done, the Xu family will produce a queen, and they will be rich and worry-free for a hundred years.

What's more, when it comes to the royal family, Xu Huizu and others are not qualified to stop it. If they accidentally annoy His Highness the eldest grandson, the loss outweighs the gain.

Under the orders of their eldest brother Xu Huizu, the two also quickly headed towards the Jinyiwei yamen.

There is a difference between the capital and the locality. The capital itself does not have a magistrate, but belongs to the Wucheng Bingma Division.

Whether it is arresting thieves or other aspects, it is the responsibility of Wucheng soldiers and horses.

The Wucheng Bingma Division is not one yamen, but belongs to five yamen.

The Yamen responsible for this incident is Zhongcheng Bingmasi.

This is a big case, and the commanders and envoys of the military and horse departments of the five cities gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"This time the Zhongshan King's family is involved. Although I, Zhongcheng Bingma Division, are in charge, if something goes wrong, everyone who is doing it will not be able to escape the responsibility."

"After all, this person is alive, and he won't just stay in one place. At this moment, His Majesty has already paid attention to this case, and the gate of the capital city is closed."

"I hope all my colleagues will put aside previous suspicions and work together this time to solve this case in the shortest possible time, especially the safety of Ms. Xu is the top priority."

The commander of Zhongchengdu said.

The boundaries of the various yamen in the capital are very vague, and there are usually many frictions among colleagues, and there are not a few people who secretly play tricks.

That's why the commander of Zhongchengdu said so.

After saying this, all the commanders present, and the deputy commanders nodded one after another. Everyone knew the seriousness of this matter, and if they played tricks on this, they were really afraid that their heads would not fall fast enough.

"It's been almost two hours since this incident, but what have you gained, just talk about it, everyone works together, and you don't need to hide your secrets."

The Commander of Zhongchengdu asked.

Two hours is enough time to investigate many things.

However, after saying this, the commanders and envoys present all fell silent.

"Could it be that at this time, you still want to hide? Or you want to enjoy the credit alone, but you must know that blessings and misfortunes depend on it, so don't shoot yourself in the foot."

Seeing that there was no response from everyone, the Commander Zhongcheng said with some displeasure.

Hearing this, the commander of Nancheng Bingma Sidu snorted coldly: "Commander Zhang, don't say that. If we have news, maybe we can hide it from everyone."

"It's all in this capital, and the brothers below basically know what's going on, and if they talk about such a big thing, who would dare to hide it?"

"Or maybe your brother in Zhongcheng Bingmasi has a way and got some clues."

"Since the case came over, I have mobilized all the brothers here. Among other things, at least my Nancheng side has dug three feet into the ground and has not received any relevant news."

The Commander of Nancheng Capital obviously did not deal with the Commander of Zhongcheng Capital very much.

Although Zhongcheng Bingmasi is half a rank higher than the other four cities, it is not counted as a Shangguan and has no jurisdiction.

After the Nancheng Metropolitan Commander finished speaking, many commanders began to respond.

"No way, all the brothers in our Dongcheng City are also on the move. There is no news at all. Anyone related to human teeth has basically been arrested and interrogated in the prison."

"It's the same in our West City. Several people have been interrogated to death, and no news has been revealed. I think it's possible that this group of people is probably not from the capital, and they are probably refugees."

"Our North City is similar."

Everyone said.

Commander Zhang of Zhongcheng frowned and said: "If they come from other places, it will be difficult to deal with. Who knows what their way is in the capital."

"It's just that the palace has already sent a message, asking me to wait before dark, and I must get useful news from the search, and go to the palace to report."

"Could it be possible that the official told His Majesty that our five cities are incompetent and have not found any useful information so far?"

When everyone heard the words, they fell silent all of a sudden.

"Now it's less than an hour before it gets dark, and you don't have to be afraid. Anyone in the capital who has anything to do with Ren Yazi will be severely punished."

"Be sure to interrogate useful information before dark, otherwise, if I can't pay the job, you will have a hard time."

Commander Zhang said gloomyly.

If there is no clue to tell His Majesty in the palace, it is estimated that he went in vertically and came out horizontally.

When it comes to this critical point, Commander Zhang can't control so much. All the arrested people and related personnel, even if a large number of people die, have to find some clues.

In the Daming Palace.

Zhu Yinggang finished dinner with the old man.

"About the disappearance of the daughter of King Zhongshan, is there any news now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Grandpa, there is no news yet, but grandson has already put pressure on Wucheng soldiers and horses to come to the palace to report clues after dark."

"The people in the Bingma Division are familiar with the bottom. Under such pressure, I think they can gain something."

Zhu Ying replied.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words, he snorted coldly and said: "These people are too courageous now, even dare to do this here in the imperial city. It seems that we have to use some ruthless medicine in this regard."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying said: "Grandpa, grandson wants to add a clause about the punishment of traffickers to the Great Ming Law."

"Sell only when you buy. My grandson suggested that when it comes to trafficking, buying and selling should be considered the same crime."
