Jinyi champion

Chapter 183 Everything Can Be Sacrificial

Post house in the city.

Zhu Wanhong heard the summary of information brought by his cronies, and the smile on Hexi's face gradually turned cold.

Especially when he heard that Prince Xing's Mansion had sent people to set up gates at the streets around the mansion to prevent ordinary people from approaching, he finally curled up his five fingers and slapped them heavily on the table.

The subordinate's report naturally stopped.

"Why, within two days after I came back, the palace was able to detect the clues? The palace sent people to test the tone before, and it was clear that they had heard the news... Could it be that there are traitors who are inclined to Xingwang lurking in Jinyiwei?" Zhu Wanhong asked questioningly in his tone .

How could his subordinates answer such sharp questions from him?
He was stunned for a while.

Just at this time, there was a knock on the door, Zhu Wanhong didn't say anything, got up and went to the door to open the door, it was Xiaoqi, a Jinyiwei who came to Anlu from the capital with him.

"Zhu Qianhu, ordered the carriage to stop outside, and said he wanted to see you, how should we deal with it?" Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi asked for instructions.

Zhu Wanhong sighed, "Please bring people in."

The cronies in the room reminded: "Aren't you going to greet him in person?"

Zhu Wanhong turned indifferently and went back to his room, ignoring the suggestion of the confidant, and then the two subordinates went out together.

……

……

Soon.

Zhu Jiashi went upstairs alone and reached the door of his son's room. At this time, Zhu Wanhong changed into an excited expression of a filial son visiting his mother, and looked into his mother's eyes desperately trying to squeeze out two tears, but the tears just swirled in the eye sockets. Can't fall.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Trembling, Zhu Wanhong helped the old lady into the room.

Jin Yiwei, who came up with him outside, closed the door, and then guarded the stairway, not allowing idlers to approach.

Zhu Wanhong helped his mother to sit down, then took two steps back, knelt down and kowtowed in front of Zhu Jiashi: "Mother, my son greets you."

Looking at his son's pitiful but extremely filial appearance, Zhu Jiashi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, tears streaming down his face, and a comforting smile: "Okay, okay, just come back! You suffered in the capital! I brought you back Man, didn't make things difficult for you, did you?"

At the moment, Zhu Jiashi still felt that the reason her son didn't go home was because he was held hostage by Jin Yiwei. After all, since her carriage stopped outside the post house, she saw many suspicious-looking people, and since she saw her son and needed someone to inform her, she entered There were always people following him upstairs in the post house. Didn't everything prove that the son was in the hands of others and was at his mercy?
Zhu Wanhong was still kneeling on the ground without lifting his head: "Mother, it's all right."

"Get up, let mother see if you've lost weight?"

Zhu Jiashi lifted his son up and looked at him carefully for a long time. He was relieved to see that although his face was paler, he didn't say he was malnourished.

She asked: "My son, you stay in the county, do you have important errands to do? If you can't do it alone, let your mother help you. Even if your boss is not humane, he shouldn't let you go back to Anlu. , still separated from his wife and children... You should live in Zhu's Manor, not an inn... How is this different from wandering in a foreign land?"

Zhu Wanhong was startled.

He didn't understand why his old lady guessed that he had an errand, and as for going home, he didn't have that thought at all, or he had become very indifferent to the fetters of his family after being away for a few years.

"Mother, the baby is fine, you don't have to worry, I'll go back to see my father after finishing my work." Zhu Wanhong indirectly admitted that he did have important things to deal with while staying in the city.

Zhu Jiashi asked: "Son, what kind of errand has the imperial court assigned you? Is it related to Xing Wangfu? Doesn't His Majesty have a dragon heir now? What is the reason behind it?

"You stayed in the city quietly after you came back. How worried are you at home? If you have something to do...just tell your mother, and the family will try their best to help you."

Zhu Wanhong burst into tears, choked up and said, "Before I left the capital, Commander Qian of the Jinyi Guard found me and told me to find a way to get rid of Prince Xing's son..."

"what?"

Zhu Jiashi was taken aback.

Zhu Wanhong cried: "I have no choice but to act according to Commander Qian's orders, but after returning to Anlu, I found out that in fact, Xingwang's mansion has been guarded for a long time, and the whole mansion is heavily guarded. use."

Zhu Jiashi stood up and paced back and forth in the room, his old face gradually distorted.

"The Zhu family is in Anlu, and they have done so many things for the court. Even your father almost died in a foreign land, so the court will continue to persecute you... But you don't have to worry, if you really want to kill Prince Xing's son, it's not impossible , Our family has a hidden thread in the palace, which is your third brother's son."

Zhu Jiashi thinks what his son thinks, is anxious about what his son needs, and in order to help his son achieve his career, he doesn't care about other people's interests at all.

"The third brother's child, he..."

Zhu Wanhong deliberately did not continue, and let his mother propose a plan.

Zhu Jiashi said: "This nephew, you are very capable. He entered the palace twice as an accompanying student, and Shi Yuan Zonggao, the head of Prince Xing's mansion, actually spoke for him before he left. It can be seen that he has won the trust of the palace. He usually stays with the prince. Read books, then add some poison to Shizi’s meals, or just give him a dagger..."

"Mother, if the third brother's child does this, can he get out of the palace?"

Zhu Wanhong was just trying to see if there was really a way to help him at home, but he didn't expect his mother's suggestion to be so straightforward.

You don't talk about any strategy at all, just let your nephew get close to King Xing's son, and shoot him directly... I said mother, can your plan have some technical content?

Zhu Jiashi sneered endlessly: "He is loyal to the family and filial piety on behalf of his parents. Why not? This is his honor as a child of the Zhu family."

The muscles on Zhu Wanhong's face twitched twice, and his face became extremely ugly: "Mother, even if you let the third brother's child go for the assassination, it was a lucky success, but how can we get rid of our Zhu family's involvement in this matter? King Shixing will not go to court , the imperial court will not take my Zhu family as a scapegoat to appease public anger? Mother, think twice before acting!"

"Son, how can there be a woman's benevolence in doing great things? Could it be that you secretly assassinate, and after the matter is completed, the Xing Palace will not know that you did it? Will you not anger the Zhu family? As long as it is for your own good, for the good of the Zhu family , must not miss this best solution!"

Zhu Jiashi looked at his son eagerly.

Unexpectedly, she soon discovered that her son's eyes were much colder than when she first entered the room, and she no longer had the fetters of family affection.

"Mother, I'll think about this matter carefully... Besides, I can't decide on this matter, everything has to be arranged by Shangfeng...Mother, don't stay here for a long time, if someone stabs you, I'm afraid it will affect you. For the future of the child, mother should go back first."

Zhu Wanhong's tone was sincere, but the depths of his eyes were cold.

Zhu Jiashi's expression contained a bit of hatred for his indisputability.

"Boss, mother can see that you are still the same as before, cowardly and honest... Being sincere and an ordinary person is an excellent quality, but if you want to achieve great things, this will definitely drag you down.

"My mother will secretly plan everything for you because you can inherit your father's position earlier, and because my Zhu family will prosper. You wait here, mother will go now!"

……

……

Zhu Jiashi's vigorous and resolute actions gave Zhu Wanhong a lot of insight.

Don't use your tricks, you still have to go?

Why do you have so many ideas, an old woman?In the end is your errand or my errand?Make it seem like you are in charge of the overall situation, and I am just a follower?

The cronies came back to the room and listened to Zhu Wanhong's account of the conversation.

The relative said: "Zhu Qianhu, this is a good thing. There are insiders ambush in the palace, so why worry about the big thing failing?"

Zhu Wanhong had a grim response on his face: "Today she can sacrifice one of my nephews, but tomorrow she may sacrifice someone for the sake of the family... To do big things, you have to use any means, but you also have to think about the way out. My nephew committed a murder openly, so the Xing Palace will easily let me and the Zhu family go? Isn’t this the birthday man who hanged himself, and thinks his life is too long?”

"This……"

The confidant thought about it and felt that Zhu Wanhong's words were reasonable.

"It seems that only my nephew was sacrificed. His Majesty King Kexing, when the court held the Zhu family accountable, the one who was sacrificed must be me! For the benefit of the Zhu family, is there anything the old lady can't do? I I have lived in the dark for several years, who is the gift? Others don't know, so I don't know?" Zhu Wanhong was full of resentment.

He didn't really mind sacrificing Zhu Hao, as Zhu Jiashi said, those who do great things should not have the kindness of a woman.

But the problem is that Zhu Wanhong feels that he may be regarded as an abandoned son by his family in the future, and he will take the blame for the entire Zhu family. His fate is the same as that of Zhu Hao, so he feels that this move cannot be taken and needs to be considered in the long run.

Even if you want to kill King Xing's son, you can't do it blatantly, at least let Xing Wang's mansion find no faults on the surface, and there is no real evidence that Jin Yiwei or the Zhu family did it...

Only in this way can I not become a victim of political struggle.

"Zhu Qianhu, what should we do then?"

My confidant is a little confused.

Prince Xing's Mansion is on guard, the plan we made has come to a dead end, and the family has given you a straightforward solution, but you don't use it?

Doesn't that mean we have blocked our own way?
If you can't complete the task, how can Commander Qian let you go easily?

Zhu Wanhong said: "At this point, do I still have a choice? Since I can't complete the errands for the court, why not...reversely enterprising...seek benevolence and get benevolence, if I don't seek benevolence, what will God do to me?"

The confidant obviously did not have Zhu Wanhong's wise plan, and did not understand what Zhu Wanhong said at all.

But I also feel that it seems to be quite unpredictable, and I am a little ashamed.

Otherwise, since he is a thousand households, the high-level officials can rest assured that he will assassinate the son of the vassal prince?You don't have any real skills, how can you be worthy of such an important job?
……

……

Zhu Jiashi came out of the posthouse and got into the carriage directly.

She was in a hurry, but housekeeper Liu, who was driving the car, didn't understand the situation.

"Old lady, have you seen the elder?"

Butler Liu thinks that your old lady's time to go in is too short?
Reunited with your son, even if we don't have a meal together, there's no need to leave in such a hurry, right?Or is it that the old man provoked you again and made you want to leave angrily?

Zhu Jiashi yelled sharply: "Hurry up and go to the current residence of the old third family."

Butler Liu asked, "This is..."

"Hurry up if you're told to drive, where is all this nonsense coming from? Could it be that you were also infected by the second child?" Zhu Jiashi's attitude was indifferent, as if he didn't treat Butler Liu as a human being.
