Chapter 120: Leading the snake out of the hole

Zhu Tianjiang was so worried that he didn't eat much in the past two days. The fourth prince Xuanzhu was 'killed' to death, and Zhu Tianjiang was the first to be the biggest victim.There are a lot of officials in the capital who hate him. Even if Emperor Chengwu doesn't deal with him, those officials will definitely take the opportunity to join forces.The most important thing is that once the fourth prince dies, the officials who follow him will immediately switch to other princes.This year there are the most people who fall into trouble, and when they see that you are unlucky, they will come and step on you.

Zhu Tianjiang looked at Daniel's handwritten letter and kept moaning.Zhu Er was worried that Zhu Daguan was 'too sad', so he kindly stepped forward to persuade him.

"My lord, don't be sad, Daniel is stupid, maybe he didn't explain something clearly. Zhu Er boldly analyzed it, and felt that the gang of evils left by Zhou Yantian could not kill the Fourth Highness. The living is better than the living." Dead people have value. They killed the Fourth Highness, and they would only increase the resentment of Emperor Chengwu and Dafeng Dynasty. If they didn't kill the Fourth Highness, maybe they could make Emperor Chengwu have some scruples and become an important pawn in Zhou Yantian's hands .”

"How can it be impossible to kill someone? Daniel's brain is stupid, but this person is honest and never lies. Come and take a look, the four balls above must represent the fourth prince, isn't that right?" Zhu Tianjiang pointed Said Bu Xin.

Zhu Er nodded, and he had no objection to this point.Zhu Tianxiang went on to say, "The villain behind is lying on the ground with his hands outstretched. If you put it together, it means Sidandan is dead. Also, there is a pig drawn here. Don't ask, it must mean My lord. There are several villains behind the pig, as if they are still holding something in their hands. What does this mean? It means that Daniel is telling me that the fourth prince is dead, and those guards can only follow my lord. Otherwise, after returning , They are also guilty of beheading. Paralyzed, when Daniel comes back to see if I don’t beat him to death, so many people can’t even protect Xuanzhu.”

Zhu Tianxiang gesticulated and analyzed, acting like a psychologist.He didn't know that Daniel meant to tell him that a large group of people were going to hunt and kill Zhu Tianxiang.

"Ah~!" Zhu Tianjiang sighed, "Zhu Er, once Xuanzhu dies, we have to be prepared to turn against Emperor Chengwu. The main road leading to the north should be closely monitored. He took the silver and killed Xuanzhu, I absolutely can't let the silver fall into Zhou Yantian's hands."

"My lord, all Anzi have received orders, whether it is a caravan or a small group of soldiers, as soon as they appear, they will send us news immediately."

Zhu Tianxiang nodded, "Zhu Er, go bring in a brazier and let the brothers get some more paper money. I want to see off that kid Xuanzhu. I'm paralyzed. It's a brother's affair. What bothers me the most , is my god-sister Hong Xiaoqing. When I go back, I don’t know how to tell others, if it’s impossible, I’ll marry you. Anyway, they haven’t had sex yet, so I can’t let my father support me for the rest of my life.”

"Don't, my lord, you should keep it. Then what, I'll prepare the brazier." Zhu Er didn't know whether he was sad or angry, but he actually wanted to marry off his wife.

Just as Zhu Er was about to leave, he suddenly thought of another thing.Since something happened to the fourth prince, it must be reported to the capital.

"My lord, the Governor of Hedu and other officials are still waiting for your memorial outside." Zhu Er reminded.

Zhu Tianxiang transported grain, grass and silver, which made the prefect of Hedu finally heave a sigh of relief.With food, the people can temporarily settle down, and with silver, local chambers of commerce dare to transport firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc. to sell.What's more, Zhu Tianjiang also brought a large number of officers and soldiers, which can help Hedu Prefecture to eliminate bandits and water thieves, and thoroughly open up foreign business routes.

Zhu Tianxiang frowned, "Tell those guys, don't think about how to curry favor with the emperor every day, let them go out to clean up the bandits when they have nothing to do. Don't worry about the memorial."

Zhu Er nodded in agreement, and hurried out to deal with it.After a while, a brazier and two baskets of paper money were brought into the hall.Not only these, but also paper figures and horses.

Zhu Tianjiang ordered someone to set up an incense table in the main hall, respectfully offered three sticks of incense, and began to mutter about seeing off the fourth prince Xuanzhu.

The capital compound was almost temporarily requisitioned by Zhu Tianxiang. In order to prevent someone from being assassinated, Zhu Tianxiang's own people were replaced inside and outside.Xia Qing personally patrolled and checked the defense of every sentry post.

All the brothers knew that the fourth prince was 'killed', and everyone's heart was heavy.According to An's words now, Xuanzhu is a very low-key second-generation official in their hearts, and he often rewards them. If such a person leaves, it will make people feel distressed.

On the street at the entrance of the Fuya, a group of people rushed from north to south.Zhu Yi ran ahead on a tall horse, followed by two carts.

As soon as the chariots and horses stopped at the gate of the government office, several guards stepped forward one after another, and Xuanzhu and Daniel in rags were helped down.

"Grandma, I finally came back alive ~ Master Zhu ~ Daniel misses you in his dreams~!" Daniel's eyes filled with excitement, and the wound on his back shoulder festered, but Daniel's spirit was exceptionally good .

Xuanzhu's hands were wrapped with a white cloth belt, wrapped up to his arms, making him look like a zombie.In the past two days, Xuanzhu urged Zhu Yi to rush on the road desperately, without even changing his clothes.They were afraid that Zhu Tianjiang would be worried, and they were even more afraid that Zhu Tianxiang would write memorials indiscriminately. The capital should not let the capital know about the prince's injury.Otherwise, someone will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.

Xuanzhu looked at the white lamp hanging outside the gate of the mansion, and just now at the gate of the city, he heard from Wang Yi, the chief executive of the admiral's mansion, that Master Zhu thought that His Highness the Fourth Highness was killed and was preparing for a big funeral.

"Listen everyone, no one is allowed to say anything, my highness wants to surprise that kid Zhu Tianjiang. Grandma, you actually hope that my prince's soul will return to the nine heavens, and see how I deal with him." The fourth prince said, pushing aside the two sides to support him. The guard stepped inside.

Just as Xuanzhu and the others entered the second archway, they ran into several guards carrying paper money.Xuanzhu smiled and said hello, these guys saw Xuanzhu's zombie-like arms, opened their mouths, and with a click, their jaws dislocated.

In the main hall in the backyard, the good hall was shrouded in smoke from Zhu Tianjiang, two guards at the door stretched their heads to look inside, and said to Master Zhu not to be smoked to death.People burn paper money outside or in ancestral halls. Zhu Daguan is so nice that he burned so much in the hall.

"What is Tianxiang doing in there?" Xuanzhu asked strangely.

"Sigh~ The relationship between my lord and His Highness the Fourth Highness is so unfair, this is not right for Si~Si~!"

After the guard saw who was in front of him, his tongue straightened out of fright, and he knelt down on the ground at once, "The heavens and the earth are so lingering~ my mother~ the fourth prince has appeared, and I know that I have scolded you behind my back." , I will buy paper money from my private house and burn it for you later, please don’t blame the little one~ I have an 80-year-old mother~ I have~!"

"Come on, I'm not dead. I'll settle the score with you later, don't make any noise." Xuan Zhu glared angrily, and said to himself that he scolded him behind his back, and I will give you a lot of rewards.

In the deep part of the hall, Zhu Tianjiang was sitting on the cushion in front of the incense table, and while putting paper money and other things into the brazier, he kept mumbling.

"Fourth, don't be reluctant to spend money over there. If you don't have enough, ask me for it in your dreams." He said and picked up a girl made of paper. Another world is with you. Fourth brother~ Although we haven’t been together for a long time, I will never forget your ### face. You and Hong Xiaoqing fell in love at first sight. The thing I regret the most is that I didn’t make it possible for you two to consummate the marriage. In that case, maybe Xiaoqing can leave you with a boy and a half girl. But now~ah~!"

Zhu Tianxiang's heartfelt reading made the Fourth Prince Xuanzhu's tears roll in his eyes.

Just as Xuanzhu was about to speak, Zhu Tianjiang said, "Fourth brother, you can leave at ease. Don't worry about that girl Xiaoqing. If Daniel is not dead, I will promise that girl Xiaoqing To Daniel. If this kid didn’t take good care of you, I will punish him to take care of your wife. After giving birth to the first child, no matter male or female, name him Niu Xuanzhu, as a souvenir for you.”

The excitement that Xuan Zhu had just raised disappeared without a trace. If it weren't for the fact that she looked at Zhu Tianjiang with a little genuine affection, Xuan Zhu would have kicked Zhu Tianjiang into the brazier.

Xuanzhu walked to the other side of the brazier, squatted down and looked at Zhu Tianxiang coldly.Zhu Daguan looked up at Xuanzhu, shook his head with a sigh, "Oh~ this kid can't stop being a ghost, and I actually have hallucinations. Xuanzhu, if you really miss me, I will bless you Do it down, and when the time comes, the country will be unified and live forever."

"Fart your grandma, I figured it out, you kid had something wrong with you." Xuanzhu said and stood up.

Zhu Tianjiang looked up at Xuan Zhu in the smog, and when he saw his bandaged arms, Zhu Daguan smiled slightly, rolled his eyes, and fainted from fright.

The government office in Hedu was full of lights and festoons, and the miserable scene of the past few days was swept away.The people inside and outside the city got food and silver, and the garrison officers and soldiers vigorously suppressed the bandits, and finally ushered in the first batch of merchants after the disaster.

In the government office, Xia Qing and Zhu Yi personally healed the bones of Xuan Zhu and Daniu.Although Zhu Yi re-treated Xuanzhu on the way, he didn't bring good medicine for bone injuries after all, he just fixed it briefly.Daniu's injury was not serious, but it was very troublesome. Xia Qing had to cut off the dead muscle.

Zhu Tianxiang sipped the tea with Erlang's legs crossed, he and Xuanzhu had scolded each other for two sticks of incense.As for Daniel, if Zhu Tianjiang didn't think he was injured, he would definitely beat him up.

"Damn it, after I go back, I will find a private school teacher to teach you how to read every day. If you come half a day late, I will report the notebook to the court. Grandma, I have never seen you so harmful. If you pass on military information, all the brothers will be killed by you." Zhu Tianxiang cursed depressingly.

"My lord, I drew very clearly. You are stupid. You can't blame me for that."

"You dare to be stubborn, don't you? Xia Qing, cut this bastard so hard, it hurts this bastard to death." Zhu Tianjiang said fiercely, really wanting to go up and kick him twice.

Xuanzhu looked at Daniel, then turned to Zhu Tianjiang and said, "Heavenly Jiang, Daniel has made a great contribution this time. If it weren't for him, His Highness probably wouldn't be alive today. We were both in a hurry those few days. Crazy, even if you didn't take precautions, you were attacked by those rebels."

Zhu Tianjiang took a sip of the strong tea. He also had lingering fears about this matter, "If Zhu Si hadn't discovered the ambush in advance, it wouldn't be certain who would win. But the other party is very smart. Staying back, I immediately withdrew from the battle. Xuanzhu, I have ordered the governor to report to the court just now, and your twenty guards cannot die in vain, we have to get back this debt."

Xuanzhu took her arms and sat down beside Zhu Tianxiang, "Tianxiang, if those thieves are scattered, it will be hard to find them. The guy in the lead seems to have reported himself as Zhou Yantian's military advisor." ~ His name is Zhuo Xing. That man's martial arts are not low, he might be on par with Zhu Yi Xia Qing."

After Xuan Zhu finished speaking, Xia Qing was startled, and said in surprise, "Zhuo Xing, the ghost doctor?"

"Why, do you know each other?" Zhu Tianxiang looked at Xia Qing.

"This person's status and seniority in Jianghu are higher than mine. I didn't expect that after so many years of no news, he actually took refuge in Zhou Yantian. My lord, if it was really Zhuo Xing who fought us that day, it must not be his real face. Zhuo Xing is here There are three masters in Jianghu, lightness kung fu medicine and disguise. It is really not easy to catch him."

Xia Qing is very familiar with the characters in the Jianghu. Zhuo Xing, the ghost doctor, gained a lot of fame when he walked in the Jianghu in his early years.However, Zhuo Xing has a habit of consulting a doctor, no matter what the status of the other party is, he must pay the consultation fee first.The patients treated by the ghost doctor appeared to be back to normal on the surface, but after ten days, many of them died suddenly.Later, a thief discovered the secret of the matter, and people knew that Zhuo Xing deliberately tampered with the treatment in order to punish those who lowered the consultation fees.From then on, Zhuo Xing became famous as a ghost doctor.

"If such a person is not eliminated, it will be a disaster sooner or later. With his ability, once he sneaks into our mansion, it will be difficult to find out. Wait and see, Zhu Er has already sent people to closely monitor him. Even if this Zhuo Xing cannot be found, he cannot be let The 300 million taels of silver fell into Zhou Yantian's hands." Zhu Tianxiang said seriously.

Xia Qing pondered for a while, and said seriously, "My lord, Zhuo Xing is full of tricks. We are stationed in Hedu Mansion. He will definitely not take away the money. Hedu is not small, and it is difficult to find it if you hide it anywhere. If I were Zhuo Xing, I would wait for the adults to leave before quietly transferring the money. We can’t stay here forever, we can’t afford to spend this time with him. If we want to lure Zhuo Xing, we can only let the big team leave and lure him Show up."

Zhu Tianxiang was stunned, then nodded, "As I thought, if you want to lure the snake out of the hole, you have to use the trick of cheating the sky and crossing the sea. Fourth, there is nothing wrong here in Hedu, so staying here and waiting for someone is a burden for others." Trouble. I think this is the case. Let’s split into two groups. You and Daniu are wounded, so you will take Wang Yi’s troops from the admiral’s mansion and march southward. We will find a place to hide nearby. As long as they As soon as I moved, I even brought money to take him in a pot."

"My lord, I'll follow you. Daniel's injury is fine." Upon hearing that Daniel wanted to let him follow Xuanzhu again, he jumped up and stood up.

"Shut up, kid, you don't have a place to talk. This time, I'll bring you two glasses of Thunderbolt. In case of an emergency, I'll blow up those bastards." Zhu Tianjiang said with his eyes wide open.

When Xuanzhu left last time, Zhu Tianjiang didn't give Daniel a thunderbolt. If Daniel really brought that thing, Xuanzhu might die.Once Daniel blows up Zhuo Xing to death, the opponent will also shoot all arrows, and no one will be left alive.

That night, Zhu Tianjiang and others began to agree on a plan.In the mansion, no one is allowed to enter except the people brought by Zhu Tianjiang to the capital.Zhu Tianxiang was afraid that the news would leak out, he didn't trust the people in Hedu Mansion.

In the morning of the next day, Zhu Tianjiang and the fourth prince Xuanzhu went around the city and distributed the last batch of relief food.Amidst the cheers of the common people, Zhu Tianjiang and Xuan Zhu led the imperial envoys and horses, and left Hedu Mansion in a mighty way.

After Zhu Tianxiang left, the officials of Hedu Mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief.Zhu Tianjiang never mentioned a word about the robbery of the disaster relief money, not even in the memorial.The officials of Hedu prefecture originally thought that once the God of Plague Zhu arrived, many more heads would fall to the ground.Who would have thought that this time Zhu Dapeng God became Zhu Dashan, except for an oolong in which the prince died, it was not as terrible as in the legend.

As soon as the imperial envoy left, the Hedu Mansion, which had been bustling for several days, regained its calm.Three days later, in a mountain stream fifty miles away from Hedu Mansion, a fast blue-gray horse galloped from far to near.

The person on the horse was the spies released by Zhu Er. Seeing the arrival of the spies, Zhu Tianxiang and others walked out of the forest one after another.

"My lord, there is news from Qinzhou that a large caravan is heading north from Hedu. The vehicles and horses are well covered, and the accompanying guards are no less than 500 people. Anzi from Qinzhou has secretly followed, and will give us Leave a mark." The spies dismounted and reported.

Zhu Tianxiang sneered, Hedu Mansion was so poor that he couldn't even afford food, where did the large caravan come from.Apart from Zhuo Xing, the ghost doctor, there would be no other family.

"Zhu Er, send a carrier pigeon to notify Zhu Si immediately, and lead five hundred elites to join us in Qinzhou pretending to be horse thieves. Tell all the brothers, hurry all night tonight, and make sure to arrive in Qinzhou before noon tomorrow."

After Zhu Tianxiang finished his orders, he saw Daniel pulling out two war horses from the woods with a playful smile.Three days ago, this guy refused to leave, and Zhu Tianjiang couldn't really deal with him military law, so he had no choice but to stay by his side.
