Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 219
"Father killing? Are you serious about what you said?!"

Li Jiteng, the magistrate of Wuchang, who was originally seated like a mountain, stood up from his seat, his face was full of astonishment, kneeling in front of him was the little eunuch Zhao Xin who slipped away from the palace when Zhu Yunhui killed his father. .

14-year-old Zhao Xin is from Jiangxia family. When he was eight years old, he entered the Chu Palace as a handyman due to his poor family, and was later assigned to the Hanyang County Palace. Because of his cleverness and sensibleness, he was chosen by Zhu Yunlong to serve by his side.

Because it is not easy for him to be young, Zhu Yunlong and Princess Qin treated him well, and they often gave him rewards, and taught him to read and write in his spare time. Xin Zhao was grateful, and gradually developed a strong affection for the two masters. of dependence.

When Xin Zhao witnessed Zhu Yunhui's murder of his father outside the palace, Xin Zhao immediately realized that his master's life might be in danger, especially as Zhu Yunlong's follower.

With a quick reaction, he immediately avoided the side, and quietly slipped out through the side door of the side hall when everyone was not paying attention.

Out of danger, Xin Zhao's first thought was to escape.The Prince Chu's Mansion could not stay any longer. As for where he would go after leaving the Prince's Mansion, he hadn't thought too much about it. It was important to save his life first.

Zhao Xin was afraid that Zhu Yunhui would send someone to close the gate of the palace after he reacted, so he ran all the way to the corner gate on the west side of the palace, and then lied to the guards guarding the gate that he was ordered by the prince to leave the palace for business, and finally left the palace smoothly.

Xin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the mansion, and the fear in his heart gradually disappeared, followed by deep worries about the King of Hanyang and his wife, as well as deep-seated hatred for Zhu Yunhui.

As the eunuch who runs errands for Zhu Yunlong, he is very aware of his master's body. When he saw Zhu Yunlong lying motionless on the ground outside the palace, his inner instinct told him that his master might not be able to pass this test.

It was Zhu Yunhui who killed the master who treated him kindly, and also insulted the princess who he regarded as a fairy. This man with a human face and a beast heart actually killed his father!The king of the county died so unjustly, and he didn't even leave a descendant!

no!This revenge must be reported!Otherwise, I, Xin Zhao, would be in vain!

It's a pity that I am not a hero with unique skills, so I can't kill this villain with my own hands. Could it be that I just let this beast stay in the world and continue to do evil?When this villain becomes the king of Chu, no matter whether he returns home or not, his parents, brothers and sisters are guaranteed to be murdered!

Never teach this villain to succeed!But who can we find to restrain him?That is the prince of Chu!Unless it is the clan mansion of the capital, but with only a few taels of silver on him, it is as difficult as going to the capital thousands of miles away!

Xin Zhao, who was walking aimlessly on the street, was thinking hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up: I can't go to the capital to file a complaint, but the government can!As long as you tell the high officials of the government about this matter, they will definitely play the court!

After meeting Cheng Song under the pretense that the King of Chu had something to inform the magistrate, Zhao Xin told the truth about what had happened, and Cheng Song, who was inexplicably horrified, immediately brought Zhao Xin to Li Ji.

"This villain saw it with his own eyes. The magistrate can go to Chu Palace to check it out!"

Xin Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his voice.

Li Ji and Cheng Song looked at each other, and they both read shock, anger, and a hint of joy from each other's eyes: If this matter is serious, it means that the mountain that is pressing on their heads will soon be destroyed. removed.

After calming down, Li Ji sat back on the chair, coughed and said, "Cheng Tongpan, how do you think this matter should be handled? Although you and I are in charge of the Wuchang Mansion, we have no right to control the affairs of the clan! Now only the first Only after confirming the authenticity of the matter can it be reported to the imperial court, but how to confirm it is a bit tricky, even the government officials have no right to enter the palace for inspection! How about you and I write a letter to the emperor, and ask the capital to send people to come and check?"

Cheng Song cupped his hands and said: "What the magistrate said is very true, you can't just make inferences based on this person's one-sided words! If things change, the magistrate and the subordinate officials will be laughing at you! Now we need to find someone who has the right to enter and leave the palace to have a look That’s right. Did the magistrate forget the existence of Jinyi who quietly entered Wuchang Mansion a month ago?”

Due to his position, Cheng Song knew very well about the fight between Jin Yiwei and the royal palace of Chongyang County.Although he doesn't like the existence of Jin Yiwei, Cheng Song still quite approves of Jin Yiwei's act of maintaining goodness.If Jin Yiwei didn't intervene, those dozens of households would not only be beaten, but also demolished by others. In the end, they could only get a pitiful amount of compensation. As a court official, there was nothing he could do about it.

For Cheng Song, the conflict between Jin Yiwei and the King of Chongyang County was a happy event.The so-called evil people need to be tortured by evil people, and only the more domineering Jin Yiwei can control the lawless descendants of the Zhu family, and they still come with the clan mansion that reads the curse. For the clan of the King of Chu, Jin Yiwei has Natural restraint properties.

Li Ji didn't pay much attention to the newly built Jinyiwei Hundred Households Office, so he didn't pay attention to the events that happened a few days ago.At this time, he immediately woke up after hearing Cheng Song's words, and he immediately raised his voice and said: "Come here! Please come to the government office to discuss matters! Just say that the matter is very important, please come as soon as possible!"

When Li Ji, Cheng Song, and Dong Cheng brought more than [-] Jinyi school captains and Wuchang government officials to the gate of Chu Palace, the gate was already closed.Dong Cheng immediately ordered people to come forward and shout for the door, while the fast-moving yamen servants spread out along the two sides, guarding every corner door and side door that could be accessed from the outside.

Under some coercion and lure, the closed gate of the palace was slowly opened from the inside. Several guards of the palace who did not know the inside story but were ordered to close the gate stepped aside. Xin Zhao led the way, and Dong Cheng strode towards the palace first. Li Ji and Cheng Song followed behind Captain Dagu.

"Li San, you did a good job! From now on, you will be the head of the Guards Department of the Chu Palace! These people are all hired as guards of the Palace! In addition, you will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver per person! You can do it in the future, as long as you are loyal to Gu , I will never hesitate to reward you! Now move the corpses in the palace to a hidden place, and sink them all into Gedi Lake after nightfall!"

Zhu Yunhui sat on the brocade couch in the hall, and raised his voice majesticly.

"Thank you, my lord, for your reward! This subordinate will definitely do his best in this life, and will not disappoint your lord!"

Under the leadership of Li San, more than [-] people from the rivers and lakes summoned from Wuchang City all knelt down and thanked him.

After Zhu Yunhui sent Li San away, he confiscated all the weapons of the guards in the hall under the pretext that his father had just passed away and no soldiers could be seen in the hall.When Li Ji, the prefect of Wuchang, and Dong Cheng and others mobilized their troops, Li San had secretly entered the palace with dozens of people from the corner gate, rushed to the side hall and beheaded all the guards and eunuchs, Liu Fugui and Li Langzhong were not spared , and Zhu Yunlong had already passed away.

Zhu Yunhui couldn't hold back the joy in his heart.From today onwards, he has finally become the only master of the huge Chu Palace, no one can restrain him anymore, no matter whether it is the Qin family or the Mao family, he will become his new favorite.

A burst of chaotic footsteps came from outside the hall, and it seemed that many people had entered the courtyard of the side hall.Zhu Yunhui felt a little displeased in his heart, and he commanded majesticly: "Who dares to walk around in the mansion! Li San, go and take heavy responsibility from the future!"

Li San stood up, greeted and led the people out of the hall. When he reached the door, his face suddenly changed, and he turned around and ran towards Zhu Yunhui: "Your Highness! It seems like an official sent to the palace!"

He didn't know the attire of Jin Yiwei, but when he saw the school lieutenant in brightly colored armor, he knew it wasn't an officer, so he thought it was a policeman from some yamen.

"Let the orphans go out! Who let them in! If they are found out later, they will be killed!"

Zhu Yunhui was furious, stood up, pointed his halberd outside the hall and shouted loudly.

Not to mention official posts, even the governor, magistrate, and even imperial envoys dare not trespass into princely houses like the King of Chu. Who is this impatient?
While speaking, Zhao Xin took Dong Cheng and others to the outside of the hall, and the people in front saw the dead bodies lying in the hall and blood flowing all over the ground. Zhao Xin was concerned about the safety of Hanyang Wang and his wife, so he stood up and wanted to go into the hall After rushing in, Dong Cheng grabbed him and pulled him behind him.For this loyal little eunuch, Dong Cheng thought highly of him and did not want him to be harmed.

"Except for the prince of Chu, anyone with a weapon in the hall can be killed! Liu Shi'an! Take people around to the back of the hall, in case anyone escapes! Come in!"

Following Dong Cheng's order, several school lieutenants with pistols went to the gate of the hall first, and fired their pistols at the crowd on both sides of the hall who were looking out.

After several bangs and screams from the hall, a cloud of smoke covered the entire door of the hall, and more than a dozen school captains with high martial arts skills broke into the hall across the high threshold with long knives in their hands.

"Jin Yiwei is on business! Kneel down to avoid death!"
