I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 60 Killing Night, An Unexpected Harvest!

Wu House.

Wu Wanggeng sat in the hall, accompanied by several other people.

The door was closed tightly, the candlelight was dim, and everyone's faces were very ugly.

Wu Wanggeng picked up the tea cup, as if he wanted to drink tea, but his hands were shaking so hard that the tea in the cup was about to spill out.

In the end, he put the cup down instead of drinking.

When the cup touched the table, the tea finally overflowed and fell to the ground along the table.

"Brother, you don't have to worry too much."

The person at the bottom said: "Although the assassination of Zhu Yunzhen failed, we did not leave anything behind."

"The desperadoes who assassinated His Royal Highness have all been killed."

"What they did has nothing to do with our Wu family."

Wu Wanggeng felt a little settled.

Ever since he saw Zhu Yunzhen escaping in a carriage, he had felt violently uneasy.

"The little girl who finally rescued Zhu Yunxuan today was Xu Miaojin, the daughter of the King of Zhongshan?"

He said in amazement: "I always feel that the little girl seemed to glance at me at the end, maybe she saw me."

"Brother, you are too caring." The person next to him smiled and said, "Don't say it was so far away, even if you saw it, you couldn't see it clearly."

"Besides, even if she sees it clearly, she doesn't know you, so why worry about it?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden "bang" outside, and the gate of the Wu Mansion's outer courtyard was forcibly broken open.

"It's not good, it's not good, master, there are a lot of Jinyi guards breaking in from outside."

……

"What crime did Wu commit? Why did you break into a house at night?"

Wu Wanggeng suppressed the fear in his heart and asked sharply.

Did Jin Yiwei find out so quickly?
impossible!
I'm afraid it will take several days just to verify the identity of the black-clothed assassin.

Moreover, even if the man in black is found, his Wu Mansion will not be involved.

What's more, Qin Wang Zhu Xi will definitely try to cover it up secretly.

How is it possible that Jin Yiwei came to the door tonight?
Zhu Yunzhen looked at Wu Wanggeng and said, "You are Wu Wanggeng, the head of the Wu family?"

Wu Wanggeng said: "The common people are just right."

"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "My name is Zhu Yunxi."

"My grandfather is the emperor of Daming today."

His tone was very calm, neither sad nor happy. Except for the fact that his voice was still very young and crisp, there was no emotion at all.

But for some reason, Wu Wanggeng heard murderous intent from his voice.

The murderous intent of a seven-year-old child is as sharp as a knife, making people shudder.

"I was assassinated when I was hunting and responding to Tian from Yangshan."

"I have found out that the person who assassinated me was ordered by your Wu Mansion."

Wu Wanggeng was terrified in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This is impossible, my Wu family has always been law-abiding, and I would never dare to do such a rebellious thing."

"Does His Royal Highness have evidence?"

Zhu Yunzhen looked up at him, his eyes unblinking, and suddenly said: "I saw you, you were watching secretly not far away."

boom!
It struck like a thunderbolt.

Wu Wanggeng stumbled and fell to the ground.

Next to him, another member of the Wu family shouted loudly: "Fight them, kill them!"

The members of the Wu family suddenly looked like they were going crazy, roaring and rushing towards Zhu Yunxi.

They don't want to stand still, they want to fight to the death.

"choke! choke!"

There were sounds of drawing swords, and Jin Yiwei took action simply and neatly.

puff!
Several feet of blood spattered.

Zhu Yunxi was expressionless, and said softly: "Actually, I didn't see you, I lied to you."

It's a pity that the dead can't hear these words.

Jin Yiwei's knife is very fast.

After a while, everyone in the Wu family fell into a pool of blood.

Jiang Yu didn't make a move, and stayed by Zhu Yunxi's side to prevent him from being attacked, and observed his expression from time to time.

Compared with the first time, Zhu Yunxuan has grown a lot.

There was no longer any fear in his eyes.

He opened his eyes, watching all this calmly and numbly.

Jiang Wei opened his mouth several times to say something, but eventually swallowed it all.

After all the people in the Wu family were killed, Zhu Yunzhen did not leave, but stepped into Wu Wanggeng's study.

Jin Yiwei's men rushed in.

"Search, search every corner, every book, every piece of paper carefully."

He wasn't sure if the Wu family would leave any clues to contact the person behind it, but he just didn't want to let go of any chance.

Jin Yiwei immediately rummaged through the box and started looking for it.

"Look, there is a secret door here."

A Jinyi guard exclaimed.

Zhu Yunxi was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect to gain anything at first, but he didn't expect to have it?

After walking in, I realized that there was actually a mourning hall inside.

Zhu Yunzhen's eyes were suddenly attracted by the words written on the spirit tablet.

Jiang Yu blurted out in shock.

"Wu Wanggeng is a descendant of the Pu family in Quanzhou? His surname is not Wu, but Pu?"

The densely packed tablets are all the ancestors of the Pu family, and the one in the middle is Pu Shougeng from Quanzhou.

Strictly speaking, Pu is not a Han Chinese, but from overseas.

Since the Song Dynasty, he moved to Quanzhou and has been engaged in maritime trade for generations.

By monopolizing the overseas spice trade and some illegal means, a huge amount of wealth was gathered.

During the peak period, the number of slaves and maidservants in his family reached several thousand.

Later, Yuan soldiers went south, and Quanzhou gathered a large number of royal family members and scholar-bureaucrats.

Pu Shougeng descended to the Yuan Dynasty and slaughtered more than [-] members of the royal family and scholar-bureaucrats in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Pu Shougeng was therefore named the general of the country.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the people of the Pu family were engaged in business while being officials.

After Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and ruled the world, he hated what the Pu family had done.

Since then, the Pu family has fled around and kept their names incognito.

"Wu Wanggeng? Wu Wanggeng?"

Zhu Yunxi muttered to himself.

So the meaning of his name means don't forget your ancestor Pu Shougeng?
Do you still want to do what Pu Shougeng did in the past, and restore the power of the Pu family?
What kind of wealthy merchants in Suzhou are just pretending.

The real identity is a fugitive from the Pu family.

"There is also a genealogy of the Pu family here."

Zhu Yunxi opened the family tree and flipped through the pages, and another familiar name fell into his eyes.

Bu Sibei!

It turned out that Bu Sibei and Wu Wanggeng came from the same clan, both descendants of the Pu family.

The Pu family has been engaged in overseas trade for generations, and Bu Sibei has also become the patrol inspector of Jinling City Wharf.

Although it is a Yangtze River waterway in name, in fact, there are many fan merchants from overseas mixed in it...

After changing their names, the Pu family is actually regaining its former influence bit by bit?
Jiang Yu was also shocked there.

All of this was happening in Jinling City, under Jin Yiwei's nose, and he didn't notice it at all?

If it wasn't for His Highness the Fourth Emperor's grandson who suddenly led people to kill the Wu family tonight, I'm afraid they would never have found out?

"Your Highness, this matter should be reported to Your Majesty immediately." Jiang Wei said immediately.

They killed the Wu family on their own tonight without a will or a judicial trial, which is a big taboo.

Even if there was the assassination of the emperor and grandson in the first place, and the Wu family themselves resisted in the back, it is still impossible for the officials of the Manchu Dynasty to let go of this opportunity to attack Jin Yiwei.

Zhu Yunzhen will also become the target of public criticism.

But if the Wu family were descendants of the Pu family who absconded, it would be completely different.

Zhu Yunxuan closed the family tree and looked at the spiritual tablet again. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which slowly appeared and gradually returned to calm.

"No need!" He shook his head, put the Pu family tree in his arms, and said, "Take away all the spiritual tablets here and seal them up."

"Also, the discovery of the mourning hall and tablets here today must not be revealed to the outside world. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
