high official

Chapter 556
The three royal brothers and the British Duke are left in the dormitory.Seeing that the king of Han was weak and crumbling after the operation, they asked the eunuchs and maids to help him to lie down on the bed before leaving.But Zhu Gaoxu said: "Wen Bi, don't leave yet."

Zhang Fu had no choice but to stand still, and smiled apologetically to the prince and King Zhao. The two nodded and left first.

Zhu Gaoxu felt weak for a while, but still insisted: "Wen Bi, sit down."

"What's the matter, we can't wait for the injury to heal." Zhang Fu sighed, lifted the lower part of his robe, and sat down on the brocade pier beside the bed.

"Some things, you can't sleep if you don't say them." Zhu Gaoxu said: "I think, Father should ask you to investigate my assassination case?"

"Yes," Zhang Fu said a little puzzled, "How did the prince know?"

"If that's not the case, why are you staring at my wound all the time?" Zhu Gaoxu said with a shrewdness that was not commensurate with his usual roughness.

Zhang Fu was not surprised. Although Zhu Gaoxu now shows people with a reckless face all day long, as a partner who grew up together and Paoze who was born and died together, no one knows what kind of person the King of Han is like——Zhu Gaoxu can When the three brothers were about to become hostages, he resolutely stole the god horse from his uncle's family, and fled thousands of miles from the capital to Beiping with his brother and brother, breaking the shackles of the army for King Yan; He saved his father from danger; in the battle of Dongchang, he saved his father from defeat; even at the most critical moment of success in the battle of Jingnan, he stepped forward to face the tenacity of Sheng Yong's army. Resisting, he was not afraid, keenly discovered the weakness of the enemy army, led the reinforcements to move forward desperately, fought bravely, and finally fought a road to victory, helped the father to turn the tide of the battle, and successfully broke through Zhu Yunwen's attack. The last barrier!
The king of Han was able to turn the tide several times, and he always found a chance to win in the defeat. Without keen insight and superb action, it is absolutely impossible.So Zhang Fu knew that he was just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger...

.

"good."

Seeing that Zhang Fu admitted it, Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "Could it be that Father thinks I'm using bitter tricks?"

"Why did the prince say that?" Zhang Fu hurriedly said: "The emperor knows that the prince is injured, and it's too late to be heartbroken. How can he doubt the prince?" He explained: "I see the wound of the prince, but it's just strange. How can I hurt the prince?"

"You have also seen that it is a three-stone hard bow that can kill even a bear. If I hadn't been wearing a treasure armor and reacted promptly," otherwise I would have been separated from you! "Zhu Gaoxu said bitterly: "After the two imperial physicians returned to the palace, the emperor will definitely ask about my injury in detail.But the emperor may not believe what they said, so you have to explain it to the emperor, is this a bitter trick? ! "

"Of course it's not a bitter trick. What a hero the prince is, how can he do such a cowardly act?" Zhang Fu said decisively: "Don't worry, the prince, I will definitely make it clear to the emperor."

"Of course I don't worry about your work." Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a ferocious look: "Help me find out who the murderer is, and I will definitely tear him into pieces!"

"Yes." Zhang Fu responded softly, "I wonder what the king of Han thinks of the murderer?"

"The murderer must have ambushed in Zijin Mountain a long time ago. His archery skills are surprisingly high, and his lightness kungfu is also superb." Han Wang said with a look of reminiscence: "Besides, this king's going to Xiaoling is very secret. I know, but the assassin knew exactly when I was going and which way I was going, and he had been waiting there for a long time. Otherwise, even though the king's guards were poor, they wouldn't let him make a sneak attack. Immediately after my king's The guards chased after him on horseback, but they didn't even see anyone..."

"En." Zhang Fu nodded, and slowly said: "Who does the prince think is the most suspicious? If the prince can give some pointers, I will try my best to give the prince an explanation!"

"That's right, this is a good brother who was born and died together!" Zhu Gaoxu smiled, fixed his eyes on Zhang Fu and said: "This king has a bad reputation in recent years, but there is really no one except the boss. This king's enemy has such a great ability..."

"This..." Zhang Fu raised his head and said, "The emperor has already said that this case has nothing to do with the prince, otherwise he wouldn't let Wang Xian accompany me to investigate the case."

"Wang Xian?" The corner of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth twitched, and he said hesitantly, "Boss is really lucky. When he was about to die, he managed to kill such a savior. If it wasn't for him, I would have killed him a long time ago!"

Zhang Fu was secretly startled when he heard that, of course he knew that the king of Han and the crown prince were incompatible, but it was one thing to know it, and another to tell it out.However, he was also surprised that Wang Xian could get such a high evaluation on the side of Han Wang, an enemy.

"You work with him this time, to see if you can draw him to my king's side." Zhu Gaoxu was exhausted and a little confused after talking so much, and murmured: "Whatever the boss can give him, I will give it to you." He is double, so what if he is made a duke in the future?"

Seeing that King Han's eyelids were heavy and he couldn't hold it anymore, Zhang Fu tried to persuade him a few words. Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu quickly fell asleep, he quietly got up and left the bedroom.

When Zhang Fu came outside the bedroom, he saw that the garden was already quiet, and the quarreling princes were gone, even that boy Wang Xian was gone.

Zhang Fu frowned, and was about to ask Zhu Zhantan, who was quietly waiting there, about Wang Xian's whereabouts, but saw him walking back quickly.

Zhang Fu was the one who led the troops to fight, and he was very angry with this guy who ran around without asking for instructions.He signaled Zhu Zhantan not to send him off, and the latter knew that he had something to say, so he saluted and watched him go.After walking far away, Zhang Fu frowned and said, "Where did you go?"

"The next official sees that the father-in-law doesn't know when he will come out. It's a waste of time to stand there. He simply visited the guards and servants of the King of Han." Wang Xian said unhurriedly.

"Can they talk to you?" Zhang Fu frowned.

"They are not as difficult to deal with as the father-in-law thought." Wang Xian said with a smile: "It's still quite easy to talk to."

"It's easy to talk..." Zhang Fu was a little speechless, Zhu Gaochi ruled the army strictly, not to mention the soldiers under him, even the maids and eunuchs in the mansion did not dare to chew their tongues.It is estimated that those guards were ordered to disclose the news to him.But the palace is obviously not a place to talk, Zhang Fu whispered: "Let's talk about it after we go out."

While talking, the two left the palace. At this time, the flow of people outside the palace decreased significantly. Obviously, the prince and King Zhao had already comforted everyone back.

The two rode on their horses, and Wang Xian asked, "Grandpa, where are we going?"

"I don't have a yamen to sit in," Zhang Fu said lightly, "Go to your place."

.

After a while, the two sat in the main hall of the Beizhen Fusi Houya.The decoration in the hall is very simple, but it is just right. There are two grand master chairs in the middle, a mahogany high table in the middle, and four chairs for the east and west. Zhang Fu nodded secretly, indicating that he was not too inflated.

But when he opened his mouth, Wang Xian was so angry that he was half dead...

"Since you asked the guards of the palace, what did you gain?" Zhang Fu asked after drinking a cup of tea.

"It's not a big gain," Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "The King of Han ate an arrow shot out of nowhere, and didn't even look at the shadow of the assassin. Tian Cewei surrounded Zijin Mountain, but only caught a few rabbits. He stroked his chin and thought, "The following official's humble opinion, our investigation is nothing."

"Why did you say that?" Zhang Fu frowned.

"The assassin made an assassination outside the city, hit him with one blow, and then fled far away. With the elite guards of Tiance, he still couldn't find anyone in desperation." Wang Xiandao: "Even if we issue the arrest document at sea and block the water and land transportation, it's over. There is no help."

"You mean we don't do anything?" Zhang Fu said with a dark face.

"Of course we have to do it." Wang Xian said seriously.

"What?" Zhang Fu asked.

"Issuing arrest documents at sea, blocking water and land transportation..." Wang Xian said.

Zhang Fu's face turned even darker, but he naturally knew that this was the meaning of the question.Even if you know that these measures are useless, you still have to take them seriously, otherwise you will be regarded as dereliction of duty...

"anything else?"

"There is also Dasuo the whole city, arresting Jianghu and fleeing." Wang Xianru said: "Order all the yamen to send the archers in their territory to the capital..."

"Could it be possible to catch the assassin in this way?" Zhang Fu secretly thought that Wang Xian was at this level?Not worthy of so many people's praise, right?

"Although we can't catch the assassins, we can let them identify the arrows." Wang Xiandao: "I heard that the arrow was used by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. It should not be used by too many people, and those who have seen it will definitely be impressed. profound."

Zhang Fuxin said that this is interesting, and then asked: "This method is too slow, the emperor will definitely ask Ding Mao soon, is there a faster way?"

"There is also a way to hurry up." Wang Xian said lightly: "Let's not investigate this case, go and find out who killed those ginkgo trees in front of Xiaoling Hall."

"You said that the sudden death of the ginkgo tree was man-made?" Zhang Fu's heart sank. The ginkgo tree is also called the grandson tree or the descendant tree. When it reproduces, it mostly grows nearby, forming a tree group.It's like a thriving, multi-generational family.Therefore, many people will plant ginkgo trees in front of and behind their houses for the prosperity of their children and grandchildren.The ginkgo tree in front of the Xiaoling Palace naturally symbolizes the prosperity of the royal descendants, with branches and leaves scattered.

This time all the Gongsun trees in front of the Xiaoling Palace are dead, what does that mean?Just thinking about it is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!Can the emperor not be angry?Immediately afterwards, King Han was assassinated again, which made it difficult for Zhu Di not to connect the two events.

"Of course it's man-made. Otherwise, there wouldn't even be mice in this season. How could all the ginkgo trees that had been growing for several years die all at once?" Wang Xian said in a deep voice.

"You mean, if the tree-killing case is solved, the effect will be the same?" As expected of the British Duke, he immediately understood what Wang Xian meant.

"If you solve the tree-killing case, you will have an explanation to the emperor. The assassin's appearance can also be attributed to the death of the ginkgo tree. Finally, there is an explanation." Wang Xian is cheeky enough: "The most important thing is that the tree-killing case It's better than a murder case..."

Hearing Wang Xian's shameless words, even the battle-tested British Duke could hardly bear it...
