The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

According to the normal situation, when a person is caught alive, naturally there is no need to kill him.

But after knowing Hou Zijian's identity, Zhu Yuanzhang finally chose to silence him.

Hearing the old man's question, Zhu Ying didn't answer immediately, she thought for a while before replying: "Grandson thinks that grandpa doesn't want to involve this matter in the guard."

It sounds vague, but it is true.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly to express his approval, which made Zhu Yunqi beside him a little confused.

However, he didn't mean to interrupt. In front of the eldest brother and the emperor's grandfather, it was a very normal period that his head could not keep up.

"Dasun, talk about the key points carefully, and see if we think the same thing." Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

Assistant Zhu Ying continued after hearing the words: "Nowadays, due to the death of the commanders of the four guards, some people are panicking. Chance."

"It is very possible to spread rumors at this time, saying that the imperial court framed the officers of the guards, so that they spread rumors that they will attack the guards and rectify the guards."

Zhu Yuanzhang said after listening, "That's right, that's it."

"Although this Hou Zijian is trying to assassinate us, but with his temperament, he is obviously not the person behind the scenes, but a pitiful person who was deceived by others."

"This guy can drive thousands of households to lead people to assassinate. Obviously, his status is not low. If he keeps his mouth alive, his identity will definitely be known, and he may even have the opportunity to find out some of the content of the interrogation."

"Now that there is no proof of death, the case is confusing and has no clue. The one who can drive Qianhu must be a military officer. Now that he has no identity, the civil servant is naturally suspected."

Poor Zhu Yunqi, only after hearing this can he understand why the emperor's grandfather thinks it is better to keep his mouth shut.

After silence, the people behind the scenes naturally did not say that it was the actions of the military officer of the guard, and the plan behind it was completely useless.

And if the killer who wants to be forcibly designated for the assassination is the military officer of the guard, then there will be clues and signs.

Only at this time did Zhu Yunqi sadly realize that he, his elder brother, and the emperor's grandfather were not on the same level of thinking at all.

What is planning, he really saw it today.

It's just a seemingly abnormal behavior of silence, but there are so many twists and turns hidden in it.

After returning to the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly ordered Jiang Lin to secretly monitor the honorable generals on the capital's side.

The news of His Majesty's assassination quickly spread throughout the capital.

Liang Guo Gongfu.

It is naturally impossible to say who bears the first place, and it is naturally Sapphire.

"The higher-ups shouldn't doubt coming to me."

Sapphire muttered to herself.

He hasn't used the title of superior for a long time.

When the Ming Dynasty first established the country, Hu Weiyong, Liu Ji, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others were the main people. Zhu Yuanzhang was not called His Majesty, but a superior.

"Superior" means that the first batch of Huaixi nobles used to sit in the chief seat while drinking when the Ming Dynasty was not yet established. Over time, it became their synonym for Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is also the founding hero of Huaixi Xungui, a more private and intimate name for Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, with Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other early followers passing away one after another, coupled with the emergence of the Hu Weiyong case, the number of people who are qualified to call Zhu Yuanzhang a superior has become increasingly rare.

This leads to such a name, which seems a bit maverick.

Originally, Lan Yu didn't think so much, but because "Liang, Duke of the State" was changed to "Liang, Duke of the State", she also learned a lesson, and called herself Your Majesty from now on.

"My lord, the murder of the previous commander and the current assassination of His Majesty are very likely to be committed by the same person."

"Master, why don't you talk to that Di Yusen and see what's going on with the case now."

"Right now, Long Yan is furious at His Majesty's side. If you get the news of the murderer first at this time, naturally

You can get out of the predicament. "

The old butler pondered for a long time, and then said to Lan Yu.

When Lan Yu heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Uncle Shan, what you said really makes sense. Okay, I'll go to Di Yusen and ask him to see what's going on now."

After finishing speaking, Sapphire set off immediately.

Jing County Chengfu.

At this moment, the aroma in the courtyard is tangy, which is the smell of chicken soup.

"Husband, this is an old hen that I bought from the vegetable market specially. You have worked really hard during this time, and you need to make up for it."

In the lobby, Qin Lixue served Di Yusen chicken soup and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Di Yusen sighed a little: "His Royal Highness has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, but almost half a month has passed, and there is still no news of the person behind the scenes."

"Today I heard that His Majesty took His Highness the Grandson and the three grandsons out on a trip yesterday, but they were assassinated."

"Fortunately, Jin Yiwei arrived in time, so the assassin was not able to succeed in the slightest. In the early court, His Majesty and His Highness Taisun appeared in Fengtian Palace safe and sound."

"I suspect that the person who assassinated His Majesty is the one who murdered the four commanders."

Qin Lixue asked somewhat puzzled; "If that's the case, then the murderer has already been punished, so the case on your side is also considered closed."

Di Yusen shook his head and said, "That's not the case. The Ministry of Criminal Justice did not say that the case is over. Besides, I guess that the people behind this scene are extremely cautious and would never personally assassinate."

"So the real culprit is still at large."

"His Royal Highness didn't come here with an order, so I can only continue to investigate."

After Qin Lixue heard it, she complained, "These days you go out early and come back late every day, and you can't see anyone. Today, I finally went home to have something to eat, so it's about the case."

"Let me tell you, if you rest for two days, you will be able to rest up your mind for a while, and then you can investigate the case better."

"Furthermore, have you found anything in the past few days?"

Hearing his wife's question, Di Yusen said helplessly: "I set my goal on the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, but none of the military officers who can hold the position in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion is higher than me."

"When I am in a good mood, I will say a few words to me. When I am in a bad mood, I can't even enter the door."

Qin Lixue said: "Don't you have the token of His Royal Highness, how dare they not let you in?"

Di Yusen said helplessly: "So what if he enters, he won't cooperate, besides, holding His Royal Highness's talisman to see people every day, there is a feeling of pretending to be a tiger, and I feel strange that I am not used to it."

Qin Lixue said with some complaints: "You can't ask here, and you can't ask there, so how do you investigate the case? This capital is really much more troublesome than Pingyang Mansion."

Di Yusen was also a little annoyed: "The capital is no better than Pingyang Mansion. There are too many dignitaries here. Even if they stare at the signboard of His Highness Taisun, there are many people who superficially cater to them, but actually dismiss them."

"For example, Huaixi Xungui, who either followed the Southern Expeditions and Northern Wars, or His Royal Highness Taisun, sometimes they have to be courteous."

Qin Lixue put down her chopsticks and said, "Then what case are you still investigating?"

Di Yusen waved his hand and said nothing.

After the meal, Qin Lixue cleaned up the dishes.

Even if he became an official in the capital, Qin Lixue couldn't bear the wages of his servants. The Prime Minister's Mansion in Jing County was not too small, but Qin Lixue chose to take care of it by himself.

In her words, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes have not lived the life of a lady since they were young, and they don't pay so much attention.

They were all poor before, but now that their salary has risen, they have to keep their money close by, in case there are any accidents and they encounter urgent needs.

This capital is good, but also too good.

Qin Lixue was too scared to go out.

The main reason is that there are too many exciting goods on the street. It was the first time I went out shopping before, and before I knew it, I spent half a month's salary of Di Yusen.

It was Di Yusen who came back at night and saw that he had purchased so many supplies, so he asked casually, and Qin Lixue finally realized it.

that's it

Time.

While Di Yusen was checking the files of various parties and Qin Lixue was washing the dishes, there was a knock on the door.

Di Yusen frowned slightly, his mind was disturbed.

"Keep watching, I'll open the door to see who it is."

Qin Lixue rinsed it casually, then hurried over to open the door.

The battle at the door startled Qin Lixue.

There was only a burly man dressed in honor in front of him, followed by several sergeants.

Husband, this must not be a crime.

Thinking this way in my heart, I asked with a smile on my face, "This is it, everyone?"

Lan Yu smiled and said, "The Prime Minister of Jing County is at home."

Qin Lixue immediately replied: "He's not here. He went yesterday and didn't come back today. I don't know what you want him to do. When he comes back, I will convey it."

Hearing this, Sapphire was a little strange.

Because he just went to the county government office, and the people in the county government office said that Di Yusen had already returned home. Could it be that it was such a coincidence that he went out again?
Looking at the woman in front of her, Lan Yu clasped her fists and said, "My lord, Lan Yu, you must be Mrs. Jing County Cheng. When the county magistrate comes back, please tell me that someone has something important to ask him."

Sapphire came here to ask for something.

They are all from His Royal Highness, so it is not a good idea to go too far, etiquette is still required.

He didn't call himself Duke Liang, but his real name.

Hearing the name, Qin Lixue felt a little familiar in a trance, so she didn't think much about it, so she replied casually: "Okay, I must convey it on my behalf."

Sapphire nodded and prepared to take people back.

At present, there is obviously only one person here, so it is not easy for him to go in and wait for a big man.

When Qin Lixue closed the door and came back, she hurriedly said to Di Yusen: "Husband, what happened to you, why are there soldiers looking for you outside?"

Di Yusen was a little confused, what could he do.

wrong.

Could it be that some nobles in the army wanted to attack him?
Then he hurriedly asked: "The person who came here gave his name.

Qin Lixue replied naturally: "It's called Lan Yu. I sound familiar with the name, but I just can't remember who it is."

Di Yusen slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "Oh, I'm a lady, this is Duke Liang."

Qin Lixue said, "Ah, let me know."

Asked: "Husband, how did you offend him?"

Di Yusen couldn't help laughing angrily: "Where did I offend him? How can he be so easy to talk with Liang Guogong's temperament when he comes to the door? He must have asked me for help with a private matter."

Hearing this, Qin Lixue immediately said 'Ah,' and said: "Then hurry up and chase, maybe you haven't gone far yet."

Di Yusen was also unambiguous, and immediately chased after him quickly.

Outside the street, Lan Yu was returning with his own soldiers.

The captain of the personal army said with some displeasure: "General, I think that guy Di Yusen avoided him on purpose. The yard smells like chicken soup, obviously he just had a meal."

"The woman's body was splashed with water, she must be washing the dishes. When I came from the county office, I didn't meet Di Yusen. He didn't see us at home."

When Lan Yu heard this, she frowned and said, "Could it be that he thinks I'm involved in this, so he doesn't want to have anything to do with me?"

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from behind: "Duke Liang, Duke Liang, wait a moment!"

When Lan Yu heard the voice, she turned her head and saw that it was Di Yusen.

The streets were crowded with people, but the sound of Liang Guogong immediately made the people who heard the sound stay away.

Immediately, Liang Guogong in front became the object of the surrounding crowd.

This is still the inner city. If it were the outer city of the capital, it would be really crowded.

"Find a place to talk."

Sapphire saw Di Yusen coming over and said.

There are so many people talking on this street, so it is naturally not a place for talking.

He randomly found a private room in a teahouse, guarded by soldiers outside, while Lan Yu and Di Yusen went inside to talk.

"Mr. Liang, I'm sorry. I happened to go out after dinner just now. When I got home, I heard Jiannei say that Mr. Liang was visiting, so I rushed over immediately."

After Di Yusen entered, he immediately explained.

When Sapphire heard this, the bitterness in her heart disappeared naturally.

After exchanging pleasantries, Sapphire directly stated her reason for coming.

"The recent murder case and His Majesty's assassination case, I have heard about the Di County Prime Minister, but I don't know what progress has been made recently." Lan Yu asked.

Di Yusen is so smart, just by asking this question, he can confirm the predicament that Lan Yu has encountered recently.

This is to ask for help.

Di Yusen, who has been following the case, naturally understands that the recent news that Lan Yu is the real murderer behind the scenes has begun to spread again, and there are even messages saying that the assassination of His Majesty must have something to do with Lan Yu.

After pondering for a while, Di Yusen said: "Don't hide it from the Duke of Liang, there are indeed some speculations here recently, but the officials' words are slightly light, and many honorable military officers can't even enter the gate of the mansion, let alone Stop talking about cooperation."

"I've been visiting here and there recently, and I'm really worried about the officials."

Di Yusen was tactful. At this time, naturally, he would not ask Lan Yu to ask for help, but instead said that he needed help.

Of course, this is what Di Yusen really needs at the moment.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu said without any hesitation: "I'll let the Prime Minister of Di County take care of any difficulties. I am also the Chief Superintendent of the Jingshi Public Security Department. Of course, it is my duty to assist in the investigation of the case."

Hearing this, Di Yusen knew it was over.
