King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 231 Zhu Jingyuan's Disposition
After pacing back and forth, Zhu Jingyuan sat back on the chair.

"Send a message to Zhang Gan first, and ask him to send someone to the Qianhu Office in Nancheng to interrogate himself on the grounds that the assassination of the prince is of great importance!"

Zhang Gan is the commander of Fusi in Beizhen, and Qianhu in Nancheng is within his jurisdiction, so it is only natural to interrogate key criminals.

Nodding her head, Chen Zhi said, "I don't think these two can stay!"

Zhu Jingyuan said solemnly: "It's not just them, anyone who went to the Qin family last time can't stay!"

"You said that the two people who were arrested were ordered by the prince?"

The meaning of Chen Zhi's question was to remind Zhu Jingyuan that he could use this to frame the prince.

Fortunately, Zhu Jingyuan was wise enough, and immediately said: "It's not important... This is the end of the matter, let's get rid of us first!"

"Come on!"

After a few breaths, an eunuch entered the palace, and the person who appeared at this time was a confidant.

Signaling the eunuch to come over, Zhu Jingyuan said in a low voice, "Go and pass on a message to Zhang Gan, and just tell me what I mean..."

"Yes!"

"Go now, let him act as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

After ordering this matter, the little eunuch who was waiting to pass the message left, and Zhu Jingyuan stood up again.

"Call Sun He over here!"

"Yes!"

Sun He and Ying Qiu are Zhu Jingyuan's absolute confidantes, and they made a special trip to do all kinds of shady things for him.

While waiting for Sun He's arrival, Zhu Jingyuan and his wife discussed for a while, and then Chen Zhi backed away.

"My lord, Sun He is here!"

"Let him in!" Zhu Jingyuan said indifferently.

After a few breaths, Sun He walked in, seeing Zhu Jingyuan's ugly expression, it made him feel bad immediately.

Scarface found Zhang Kui first, and then Zhang Kui asked Sun He, and finally the news reached Zhu Jingyuan's ears.

So Sun He could roughly guess that it was related to this matter that he was called over.

"The servant kowtows to the prince!"

Looking at Sun He who was kneeling on the ground, Zhu Jingyuan said coldly, "You...are amazing!"

"Those people in your hands will leak mine!"

Zhu Jingyuan's tone was calm, but with a strong murderous look, cold sweat broke out on Sun He's back.

"Little man... I really don't know, I still... I hope the prince will learn from me!"

Of course, Sun He didn't know the whole story, he only knew that someone under his command was arrested, but he didn't know that it was because of the assassination, and he was also involved with the White Lotus Sect.

"The last time you were asked to trouble the Qin family, those people dared to assassinate the old thirteen, and were arrested by Jin Yiwei..."

"Tell me, who are you looking for?"

At the end, Zhu Jingyuan was so furious that he picked up a teacup and threw it at Sun He.

Sun He didn't dare to dodge at this moment, so he had to take a hard blow, and his forehead was instantly smashed, and bright red blood oozes out.

"The slave is guilty, the slave is guilty..." Sun He kowtowed again and again, hoping to get Zhu Jingyuan's forgiveness.

"You... try to gather those people from last time, and you can't miss any of them, including the one under you!"

"Yes!" Sun He replied, waiting for Zhu Jingyuan's next instruction.

"Let them all disappear, it must be clean and natural, how to do it yourself!"

Walking behind Sun He, Zhu Jingyuan said in a deep voice, "If anything goes wrong... your whole family will be buried with you!"

Originally, Sun He felt sorry for these people, especially Zhang Kui, his right-hand man, but after hearing Zhu Jingyuan's last words, he wished he could kill these people immediately.

"The villain understands, the villain understands!" Sun He kowtowed.

When Sun He raised his head, Zhu Jingyuan had already left, so he stood up tremblingly, but at this moment he was still a little unsteady.

Time was running out, and he didn't dare to delay, so he could only force himself to go out, and he had to arrange things right away.

Let's talk about Zhu Jingyuan returning to Cunxin Hall, Zhu Jinghong is talking with sister Chen Zhi at the moment, it is obvious that Chen Lan is also more cheerful.

As a modern soul, although Zhu Jinghong can't be regarded as the king of the sea, his methods of flirting with girls are more than most people nowadays, so he can open Chen Lan's chatterbox.

"In this way, reading is still a scorer. For smart people like you, it is as simple as eating and drinking. A rough person like me can't do it!"

Zhu Jinghong said this to Chen Lan, but Chen Zhi on the side answered, "Thirteenth brother, what you said is completely unreasonable, if your father finds out..."

"Sister-in-law Liu, you won't sue me!" Zhu Jinghong looked at Chen Zhi and asked.

At this time, Zhu Jingyuan walked into the room and asked with a smile: "What complaint? What are you talking about so happy?"

Seeing Zhu Jingyuan's arrival, guessing that the time was almost up, Zhu Jinghong got up and said, "Sixth brother... I have something to do in the afternoon, I'm afraid I have to leave first!"

When he got closer, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Why do you want to leave when I come here?"

Zhu Jinghong replied casually: "Sixth Brother, Fourth Brother invited me to a banquet in the afternoon, it was agreed yesterday!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan became angry, but he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "Why... he is not an old man, so you just listen to him?"

Zhu Jinghong smiled and replied: "Sixth Brother, but I have already promised Fourth Brother, if you call me for a banquet next time, I will definitely come too!"

This thirteenth brother is really simple-minded... Zhu Jingyuan felt emotional.

Zhu Jingyuan was not surprised that Zhu Jinghong could not be kept today.

"Thirteenth brother, the things my brother gave you today are still satisfactory to you!"

"It's all good stuff!"

Zhu Jingyuan then asked: "How did Brother Bi send you?"

"The fourth brother gave it to me. It's okay to wear, but it's a lot worse on the battlefield. Sixth brother is better than you!"

Zhu Jinghong doesn't mind saying a few more words if the other party likes to listen, and he must give positive feedback to others.

Sure enough, Zhu Jingyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly thought that he had made progress in wooing Zhu Jinghong, and his hard work was not in vain.

"only……"

The sudden turning point made Zhu Jingyuan's smile gradually disappear, so he asked, "Thirteenth Brother... Could there be something wrong?"

Zhu Jinghong smiled, and said with a little embarrassment: "Brother Six...the armor, long and short weapons, bows and arrows are all there, and I still need a good horse!"

With Zhu Jingyuan's strength, it's no problem to get a war horse casually. With Zhu Jinghong fully equipped, ordinary war horses can't bear it at all.

But to find a good horse to use, it is no longer a matter of money and power, but to a greater extent depends on luck.

Seeing that Zhu Jingyuan didn't open his mouth, Zhu Jinghong said indifferently, "Sixth brother, if it's difficult... I think it's better to forget it!"

"Thirteenth brother, what are you talking about? Isn't it just a horse, the elder brother will definitely find it for you!"

I thought Zhu Jinghong would thank you, but he said again: "Brother Six, it's better to give Ma Ye a pair of armor, that will be more perfect!"

"Good... good!" Zhu Jingyuan complained in his heart, but smiled brightly on his face.

"Then... I'll take my leave?"

"Okay... I'll take you out!"

A few minutes later, Zhu Jingyuan returned to Cunxin Hall, and now Chen Lan had also retreated, only Chen Zhi was waiting in the teahouse.

"After taking our things and making so many demands, the old thirteen is really..."

Seeing Zhu Jingyuan coming in, Chen Zhi couldn't help complaining.

Sitting on the chair, Zhu Jingyuan said: "He is such a person, and he can say whatever is simple in his mind, which is actually a good thing!"

"That's true. I think he and Lan'er are getting along well. Why don't we just stuff them into his palace?"

Picking up the teacup, Zhu Jingyuan said slowly, "This matter cannot be rushed, let's take it one step at a time!"

"The most important thing now is to get rid of Jin Yiwei's affairs. I hope Zhang Gan won't let me down!"
