My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 150

"How's the situation now?" Xu Jingchang asked wearily.

Zhu Gaosui grinned, "It's okay, it's not good either."

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly Xie Jin is fine, but the other civil servants are very bad!" Zhu Gaosui thought he was humorous.

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids and snorted coldly, "Are you sure that Xie Jin was an accident?"

"No!" Zhu Gaosui said: "According to the report, he suffered from abdominal pain after eating breakfast. He drank a liter of garlic juice by himself, and then he vomited and had diarrhea. The things are not clean. Cheng Guogong also tortured all of Xie Jin's servants, and found nothing suspicious. At present, Xie Jin is still in good condition and has already started to repair the book."

Xu Jingchang listened for a long time, and said angrily: "Isn't this just nonsense? Is there anyone who wants to assassinate him?"

Zhu Gaosui grinned wryly, "Why are you yelling at me? What he did is so hated by others, and there are probably fewer people who want to kill him than you. It will definitely not be found out in a while!"

Xu Jingchang only felt his head buzzing. He really couldn't figure it out. He has always been harmless to humans and animals, kept himself safe, honest, self-restraining and devoted to public affairs... He didn't have the slightest fault, how did the assassins target him?

"Let's do a little analysis first... who might do it?" Xu Jingchang asked.

Zhu Gaosui thought for a while, "This is naturally a civil servant, but I am a little confused. Like Shangshu Jian and Shangshu Xia, they will never get involved, and it is hard to say about others. In case it is someone who cares more about Confucius... By the way, Beikong's minions, they got the news, and they took action."

Xu Jingchang snorted, "Bei Kong is in Shandong, and Yan Shenggong is only three years old this year. Even if he has the guts of a bear, he can't attack Xie Jin so quickly, right?"

"That's the second possibility. Maybe Xie Jin did it himself."

"Did it by yourself?" Xu Jingchang asked doubtfully.

"Yes, he knew that following you would not end well, so he prescribed the medicine himself and made a noise so that the emperor sent someone to protect him." Zhu Gaosui said: "Yes, it must be like this, Xie Jin is not a good guy either!"

Xu Jingchang thought about it seriously, "Are you sure?"

Zhu Gaosui thought about it again, "It's hard to say... Now that civil servants and military generals are making trouble like this... Do you think it was the father who did it?"

After Zhu Gaosui finished speaking, he was startled too.

Zhu Di would do such a thing?

It seems that it is not good to say that the Golden Palace has the upper hand, but it is necessary to promote various affairs, and the civil servants are required to handle the affairs. It makes sense to continue to beat them with Xie Jin.

No problem!
"But father is the Holy Lord Yingrui, so he doesn't like this kind of gossip, so it shouldn't be him." Zhu Gaosui went back to make amends.

Xu Jingchang smiled wryly, "Then tell me, who else is there?"

"Anything else? That's a lot. For example, the remaining former officials of the former Yuan Dynasty, the remaining members of the Jianwen Party, and perhaps the enemies Xie Jin offended in the past. If we attack now, it will just confuse the public."

Zhu Gaosui said a lot, and it was indeed possible, but he couldn't say for certain.

"Actually, you have forgotten one person." Xu Jingchang said quietly.

"Who?" Zhu Gaosui asked in surprise.

"It's you! His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, Zhu Gaosui!"

Hearing Xu Jingchang's words, Zhu Gaosui jumped up, "Don't talk nonsense! Your grandfather is my maternal grandfather, and we are relatives. I have been cheering for you all the time. I heard that someone is going to assassinate you. I didn't avoid danger. Come here to give you a tip-off. To be a man, you have to be conscientious, Xu Jingchang, if you don’t explain things clearly, I’ll never end with you!”

Xu Jingchang didn't care about his threat, he said, "Of course you have a reason, don't forget that you are in charge of the mansion newspaper, what you lack the most is news, and it's the kind that makes a lot of noise... the mysterious Nishan Hongru Society , Assassinate important officials of the court, outlaw lunatics, and influence the overall situation of the court. Loyal ministers, righteous men, the country, assassins... This is something that can be put on the stage."

Zhu Gaosui was stunned, it seemed reasonable!
My residence newspaper is really saved.

"Brother, why do I suspect that there really is a Nishan Hongru Association!"

I have to say that conspiracy theory is indeed the best answer to explain all difficult problems... Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, at least you can convince yourself.

In Xie Jin's poisoning incident, it can be said that as long as he was panting, he was suspected.

Xu Jingchang thought about it for a while, then sighed, "Let's not talk about him, nor who did it. Do you know the usual methods of assassination?"

Zhu Gaosui regained his energy, "I'm familiar with this. Speaking of which, I asked Ji Gang about it... He said that the usual method, there are people who prescribe medicine, such as Xie Jin. There are also bows and crossbows... For example, in the section you pass, people Ambushes in advance, when you ride a tall horse, shoot you, in order to ensure a one-hit kill, and poison, the kind that sees blood seal your throat, one arrow can kill you."

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes at him, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, it's assassination... When you were sleeping at night, someone sneaked in, came to your bedside, and then took a sharp knife and stabbed you indiscriminately, turning you into a hornet's nest and bleeding to death."

Xu Jingchang shuddered all over, and couldn't help but said, "Is there anything else?"

"Others? That's too much... For example, if you like fishing, they will design it to make you fall into the water, just like being dragged into the river by a big fish. Also, if you like to listen to music, they will buy a girl who sings an opera , Teach them all kinds of skills, first use the skills to charm you, and then violently kill people."

Zhu Gaosui said: "I know that there is a county magistrate who likes to watch operas. He hired a theater troupe. Among them is a great martial arts student. The magistrate is very happy with the opera and wants to have a chat with him... Who would have thought that after singing a play, this guy would fly over suddenly, he was playing Zhao Zilong, holding a bright silver gun, and piercing his neck, the blood rushed out like an arrow, staring at two eyes, dying with regret !"

The more Xu Jingchang listened, the more frightened he became, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

"Stop talking, we have to find a way."

"Us?" Zhu Gaosui muffled, "Brother, I'm not on the list, so there's no need to be afraid, right?"

"Fart! If they dare to assassinate me, they dare to assassinate you. Even His Majesty may not be safe... I am now in a state of fear and anxiety. In the huge Ming Dynasty, there is hardly a foot of pure land or an inch of sleeping place. I have to sleep in bed now." Tighten the quilt."

Ding Guogong Xu Jingchang, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, is really timid today.

He stopped fishing, and he stopped eating delicious food.

The Xu Mansion added double guards, and bought more than a dozen dogs, which were placed in the backyard.

If there is anything to eat and drink, give it to the dog first, and then he will eat.

"Father, my cousin has become a dog, it's so pitiful!" Zhu Gaosui went to cry to Zhu Di again.

It's just that there is always a little bit of gloating in his words, inside and outside.

At this time, Prince Zhu Gaochi and King Zhu Gaoxu of the Han Dynasty all had dark faces and were full of anger.

"Father, if they dared to assassinate my cousin today, I can't even imagine what they will do tomorrow. We must thoroughly investigate and arrest them all." Zhu Gaochi suggested.

Zhu Di scowled, and snorted, "How could I not know! It's so cowardly, my courtiers, how could they be able to move?"

While they were talking, Empress Xu brought Zhu Zhanji over.

From a long distance, Zhu Zhanji was crying.

"Grandpa, don't let my cousin die, save my cousin!"

The little guy was crying so sadly. Although his uncle was not very reliable, he gave himself a lot of fun and helped him earn gold beans. What if he died?
Seeing his son crying like this, Zhu Gaochi was very excited. If your father died, you would be so sad.

Zhu Di quickly reached out and hugged his good grandson in his arms.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Don't worry, Grandpa Huang is here! Nothing will happen."

Just as Zhu Di coaxed the eldest grandson, Empress Xu also had red eye circles.

"Your Majesty, the fourth brother is dead, and he is just like this... If there is a mistake, I'm afraid I will be sorry for the fourth brother!"

Empress Xu's crying made Zhu Gaochi and the others feel sad too.

Right now, Xu Jingchang is the one the Xu family can offer.

But he is young, not yet married, and has no offspring.

If someone assassinated him, the Xu family would really be devastated.

"The news is confusing now, and I've asked people to investigate thoroughly. Although thieves are rampant, they can only be sneaky in the end, so it's nothing to worry about." Zhu Di tried his best to comfort Empress Xu.

But Empress Xu frowned, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, one can be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. These gentry and Confucian scholars are too rampant. Your Majesty can't indulge them."

Even Empress Xu believed that it was done by literati.

In the past, I always felt that literati had no power to restrain chickens, and they were not like warriors with their teeth and claws, so the emperor could not help but favor civil servants.

But now it seems that these civil servants are not only sinister in their intentions, but also bold, and their attacks are even more sinister and vicious.

Zhu Di frowned, "I really can't let them go... It's just that people are panicking right now. I heard that Xu Jingchang was scared enough. How can I do it?"

Empress Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, why did you forget, my nephew is the most alert, and this time it is aimed at him, it is likely that this kid has already made up his mind, why don't you go and ask?" .”

Zhu Di was quite tempted, and was about to go to have a look at Xu Jingchang, but Zhu Gaochi said: "Father, someone is going to assassinate my younger brother, and there may be someone ambushing outside his mansion. It may not be appropriate for Father to go suddenly. Why don't you let me ask?" Him, if he has any good ideas, I'll come back and tell my father."

Zhu Di thought for a while, nodded and said, "You should also be more careful."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, "My child understands."

Zhu Dazhuang came to Xu's house.

"My dear brother, this time it's about your life. If you have any treasures, quickly take them out. How are you going to save your life?"

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes, "Why do I think you're happy?"

Zhu Gaochi chuckled: "It's not that I'm happy, it's because since the news came out, now in the court, the six yamen, the Inspectorate, the Kedao, and the Imperial Academy are all honest and sincere, and no one shirks their responsibilities anymore. "'

Xu Jingchang also couldn't laugh or cry, "It's just a bunch of scumbags... Okay, tell your majesty that we need to build a government office to prevent assassination. It's best to be able to command Jinyiwei. Your majesty is completely assured that there will be no collusion with Hongru. Then, by the way, the establishment of the Jinyiwei was also expanded, and a few thousand more households were added, and they had to be protected inside and outside the palace. The court officials also need someone to watch over them!"

Xu Jingchang smiled lightly and said, "We are doing this for their own good, so we can avoid suspicion, right?"

Fatty Zhu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something... If you want to say that you have deep thoughts and grasp the timing, you are definitely the one!

"Okay, I'll go and say it now, this time there is another sharp sword on the heads of Baiguan!"
