Chapter 38 A Stormy Night!

tread--

tread--

Sitting in the carriage, there were waves of footsteps behind Zhu Yunxi.

The street was very quiet. When the people saw this scene, they all remained silent and gave way in fear.

Jin Yiwei was in Daming, and it was a frightening existence.

Usually, seeing one or two people can scare a baby to stop crying.

It is extremely rare to see such a large-scale dispatch like today.

The people were surprised at what happened, but they didn't dare to come closer to see the situation.

The large group of people went to Sima Sheng's house like this.

The commander of Jin Yiwei, Jiang Yu, rode on the horse and followed beside the carriage without saying a word.

Zhu Yunxi lifted the curtains on the carriage.

Outside, the world is chilling.

Not long ago, the sky was clear, but now it was covered with dark clouds and a heavy rain was brewing.

The setting sun has set, and the sky is not completely dark yet.

A suffocating murderous aura filled the air.

The sound of footsteps behind him was like a death knell, knocking on nothing.

The whistling wind flowed past his ears.

Rumble!
Above the sky, there was a deafening thunder, and the thunder was so loud that it seemed like the sky was falling apart.

Soon after, they arrived at Sima Sheng's mansion.

The carriage stopped, and the sound of footsteps behind him also stopped in an instant.

Jiang Yu dismounted from his horse, stepped forward, opened the curtain, and Zhu Yunxi came down.

Looking up, the plaque with silver hooks and iron paintings seemed to be covered with a strong smell of blood at this moment.

Zhu Yunxi took a deep breath.

What should be faced, always have to be faced.

Until now, he still didn't quite understand why Lao Zhu asked him to do this.

If you want to copy Sima Sheng's house, just send any minister here.

It's just a sixth-rank official.

The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate can all do this.

Even if he intended to send Jin Yiwei to handle the matter, Jiang Yu could complete the task without sending an imperial grandson.

Not to mention, he is only seven years old.

If it is said that he intends to establish him as the grandson, so he is tested.

It doesn't seem right either.

Zhu Yunxi clearly remembered that when Zhu Biao was alive, Lao Zhu was unwilling to let him commit murder, but did it himself.

Lao Zhu wants the successor to be a benevolent king.

He didn't understand.

Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a man of great talent and strategy, and his scheming was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Even though he is old now, he still has the wisdom of an old fox and the might of a tiger.

Perhaps, unknowingly, you will fall into the trap he designed.

Facing this aged man, Zhu Yunxi didn't dare to neglect in the slightest.

Even if the other party is his own grandfather.

Even if he loves himself very much.

Zhu Yunxi's heart sank little by little.

Now that we have traveled to the royal family, death and bloodshed are inevitable.

Confused, he waved his hand.

Hundreds of Jin Yiwei immediately dispersed in an orderly manner, and surrounded the Sima family's mansion in an impenetrable way.

boom!
A Jin Yiwei kicked the door of Sima's house open.

Dozens of Jinyiwei filed in.

With hands behind his back, Zhu Yunxi strode into Sima Mansion.

Inside the mansion, there is already a chaos.

There was panic in everyone's eyes, and their bodies were trembling, as if a badly predicted fate was about to come.

Sima Sheng did not resist or speak. He watched the Jin Yiwei enter the mansion. He took the servants in the mansion and knelt on the ground.

But there were also people who kowtowed and cried and begged for mercy.

Zhu Yunxuan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes slightly, and said to Jiang Yu next to him: "Declare the decree!"

Jiang Yu took out the imperial decree and read: "Sima Sheng, you are so courageous, but a mere sixth-grade official, foreigner, dares to covet millions of taels of silver. This is all the fat and anointing of the people. Why are you so cruel and dare to drink the money of the people?" Blood! You deserve death!"

"Jin Yiwei immediately sent people to confiscate all of Sima Sheng's family property, and everyone in the mansion took him into custody immediately."

"Men, no matter how old or young, those who should be skinned should be skinned, and those who should be cut into pieces should be cut into pieces. The female family members have been slaves for generations, so do it!"

Hearing the content of the imperial decree, Zhu Yunxi was slightly taken aback.

He has heard for a long time that Lao Zhu likes to write edicts in vernacular, but he never thought that it is really so plain.

The content is murderous.

It shows how much Zhu Yuanzhang hates corrupt officials.

Everyone in Sima Sheng's family knelt there as if struck by lightning, they couldn't even cry.

Sima Sheng's lips were trembling constantly, his face was pale, and he fell to the ground with a plop.

"Take it into custody!"

Zhu Yunxi ordered lightly.

At this moment, a bad premonition suddenly came to my heart.

That feeling was like walking in a dark jungle and being watched by wild animals.

whoosh-

There was a sound of piercing through the air, and Zhu Yunxi's pupils suddenly dilated!

He saw a hidden weapon flying towards him from the front left.

Time seemed to slow down extremely slowly at this moment.

He could clearly see the sharp edge of the hidden arrow, and even saw the ripples in the air stirred up by the hidden weapon.

Everything happened in an instant, and Zhu Yunxi had no time to dodge.

The young body seemed numb.

He could only watch helplessly as the hidden arrow struck.

He really didn't expect that such a change would happen.

Sima Sheng's family actually has a hidden master who wants to assassinate him?
Zhu Yunzhen felt that he might die.

The back arrow came too fast and the distance was too close, and the Jin Yiwei beside him had no time to react.

He doesn't know martial arts either.

Not to mention this body, which is only seven years old.

In the flash and flint, he suddenly heard Jiang Yu let out a low shout, and the Ruochun knife was pulled out of its sheath suddenly.

Zheng——

The blade trembled, and an arc like a meteor flashed away.

Ding!
The hidden arrow that was shot at Zhu Yunxi had already been chopped off by him.

Jiang Yu's sword kept cutting, his figure and the sword almost merged into one, rushing forward.

Click.

A knife pierced the archer's throat.

A knife to the throat!

Clean and neat!

Blood spurted out.

Bang!

The man's figure fell heavily to the ground, already lifeless.

Looking at the hidden weapon on the ground and the fallen figure, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help swallowing.

A gust of wind blew by, and he felt chills all over his body.

If it wasn't for Jiang Yu's quick moves, he would have already met Hades by now.

The sight was dripping with blood, and the scene was extremely bloody.

Boom!

There was another roar of thunder, which made Zhu Yunzhen's vision flicker.

The heavy rain poured down instantly.

In the wind and rain, Jiang Yu's back held a long knife high and said loudly: "The Sima family has hidden killers, intending to murder the current emperor and grandson, and they are accomplices in treason, killing without mercy!"

brush!
brush!
brush!
After the words fell, hundreds of Jin Yiwei drew their swords almost at the same time, and then rushed towards everyone in Sima Sheng's house.

"kill!"

Knife light flickered.

Above the sky, thunder and lightning flashed continuously.

A massacre has begun.

Zhu Yunzhen saw that Sima Sheng, who was slumped on the ground and had not had time to get up, was slashed in the throat by a Jinyi guard.

The blood is like a strange flower blooming in the rain.

Crying, screaming, mixed in the rain, like a nightmare, constantly echoing in the ears.

The red blood stained the ground red and flowed everywhere with the rain.

Old people, women, children... were all mercilessly beheaded by the blade.

Crying, screaming, mixed in the rain, like a nightmare, constantly echoing in the ears.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, drowning everything, but it couldn't wash away the blood and the pungent smell of blood all over the ground.

Zhu Yunxi stood where he was, the rain on his head was blocked by an umbrella.

Several brocade guards surrounded him, protecting him tightly.

The rain curtain fell in front of his eyes, Zhu Yunxi was expressionless, watching all this quietly, feeling the cruelty of this world.

The previous panic faded away little by little.

His expression gradually changed from pity, fear, and fear to numbness, and then gradually to determination.

boom!
There was another thunder, deafening.
