My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 187 Finally caught you

   It will take a while.

  A mansion in the inner city of Nanjing.

  Hundreds of captains of Uchitodo suddenly appeared.

   Immediately afterwards, Chen Li took the lead and slammed on the door.

  Boom boom boom...

  The door opened impatiently.

   poked his head out and cursed: "Who is so bold... I don't know..."

  Boom...

  The vermilion lacquered door with a gap was slammed open, and the door was knocked to the ground, and he continued to curse. Immediately, an embroidered spring knife was placed on his neck.

   "It has nothing to do with people, don't talk too much, come, go in and arrest the thief, whoever dares to resist, will be killed without mercy."

  As soon as this remark came out...

  From behind Chen Li, countless school captains rushed into the house in an endless stream.

  The doorman was already trembling with fright and dripping with sweat.

  Chen Li knelt down, smiled and said to him, "Is your master at home?"

   "No...don't know."

  Chen Li raised his hand, slapped him across the face, and cursed: "I've been staring at you for a long time, don't you know? Hehe... Do you think you can fool me if you don't say it?"

With that said, Chen Li stood up, pressed the handle of the knife at his waist, turned his head, grinned, and stood obediently in front of the door like a passer-by, bowing his body and saying, "Master Hou...you carefully underfoot."

   Immediately afterwards, Zhang Anshi, dressed in a unicorn suit, walked in slowly, and glanced at Chen Li: "Don't let a single fly out, search carefully for me."

  Chen Li said: "Here."

  In the depths of the house, there was sudden noise and crying.

  Zhang Anshi was unmoved.

  Beizhen Fusi already has a plan.

  Expert Qianhusuo must not be idle.

  He quickly walked through a series of doors, finally arrived at the middle hall of the house, and took a seat in the middle hall.

   Someone shouted: "Who is it, do you know what this place is!"

   "Take it down."

   "Bold..."

   "According to the order of Marquis Annan, those who dare to resist will be dealt with as rioters immediately, and will be killed without mercy..."

  Finally...someone was picked up, Chen Li excitedly entered the middle hall, and said, "They caught...Hou Ye...do you want to..."

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Bring it in."

   Immediately afterwards, someone was brought in.

  This person said: "Zhang Anshi, I have no grievances or enmities with you, you are so courageous..."

  Zhang Anshi pursed his lips and remained silent.

  Chen Li was furious, kicked the man directly behind, and cursed: "Your mother, you dare to talk like this after seeing my Lord Hou, don't you know you're dead?"

  The man let out an ouch and said angrily, "Why did you take me?"

  At this time, Zhang Anshi stood up, stepped forward step by step, stared straight at this person, and said, "Chen Ying, why do you ask why you know it?"

  The person in front of him is Chen Ying, the censor of the left deputy capital.

  Chen Ying met Zhang Anshi, but her face showed no fear.

  Of course he is not afraid of Zhang Anshi, even though Zhang Anshi is the prince's wife and younger brother, he is also deeply loved by Zhu Di.

   But he, Chen Ying, is not an ordinary person.

  When Zhu Di was in trouble, Chen Ying was a patrol envoy in Shandong. Because he accepted Zhu Di's money and was exposed by the minister, Emperor Jianwen demoted him to Guangxi.

  But when Zhu Di proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately thought of Chen Yinglai who had conspired with him to rebel, so he ordered Chen Ying to enter Beijing and appointed him as the left deputy capital censor.

Zuo Fudu Yushi is the second official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He has a high position and authority. Most importantly, he was one of the few ministers who supported Zhu Di during the Jingnan period. Rare things are more precious. Extremely trusted by Zhu Di.

  In the past few days, Chen Ying was convalescing at home. Unexpectedly...the people from the Qianhu Office suddenly acted and came directly to arrest him.

  Anyone else would have trembled, but Chen Ying was the only one who was furious.

  He has always been the only one who checks on others, and absolutely no one else finds out about him.

  Chen Ying glared at Zhang Anshi, and said angrily, "Zhang Anshi...you are plotting rebellion."

  Zhang Anshi was still calm, and said: "I am ordered to investigate the Qin case, no matter who it is, can be arrested, you dare to say that I am in trouble?"

  Chen Ying was furious: "You say I conspired against you, do you have evidence? Hmph..."

  Zhang Anshi didn't bother to chat with him, pointed at Chen Li and said, "Take it to Qixia first, and torture it thoroughly. There are people in this family, too."

  Chen Li said respectfully, "Yes."

  …

  Since it is difficult for Zhu Dijing to succeed, Chen Ying dare not say that she is an extremely human minister, but she is definitely a favorite minister.

   Zhu Di was very polite when he saw him.

  When Zhu Dijing was in trouble, the highest civil servants around him were only fourth or fifth rank, and most of them were coerced.

  Only Chen Ying is the third rank, and he is determined to conspire with Zhu Di.

   It can be said that Chen Ying is the signature of Jing Nan among civil servants.

  In these years, among the great scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion and the ministers of various ministries, which one of them met him, don't be polite?

  At this time, he was in a terrible state of distress, and was pulled into a prison van, and then...sent to a mansion in Qixia.

  This house is gloomy, and in the end...he was sent to a torture chamber.

   Someone tied him to an iron chair.

Soon, Zhang Anshi came back and said coldly: "Well, what's going on, if you want to survive, you can't do it if you don't open your mouth. You know that since I'm looking for you, I'm sure it's not because I'm full. on."

  Chen Ying scolded: "Everyone in the world can rebel, but I, Chen Ying, will not rebel. What is your intention to exclude dissidents like this? Zhang Anshi, don't think that you can do anything wrong just by relying on some holy family."

  Zhang Anshi sighed, and said: "Everyone saw it, I talked to him properly, but he insisted on making me angry."

   After finishing speaking, Zhang Anshi said: "Hit me hard."

  Zhang Anshi has a kind heart and has already stepped out of the torture chamber.

   Not long after, Chen Ying's shrill cry came from the torture room.

   "You... you... framed and framed like this... I am a loyal minister... Your Majesty knows me..."

   "Ah... ah..."

   After two sticks of incense, Zhang Anshi re-entered the execution room, sat down, stared at Chen Ying and said, "Hey...Look, can't we talk properly? Why do we have to make trouble like this, just look at you..."

  Chen Ying's clothes were disheveled, and his bruised skin was exposed. He glared at Zhang Anshi with hatred, and tremblingly said, "What...what do you... want to do, I am definitely not a rebellious party."

  Zhang Anshidao: "I don't care if you are a rebellious party or not. Do you know this person, Tuo Huo Chi?"

  When Chen Ying heard this name, her body shook slightly.

   Then, he glanced at Zhang Anshi with a strange look.

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Why, don't talk anymore? Aren't you complaining about your grievances?"

  Chen Ying lowered her head, then raised her head abruptly: "You...are framing loyal ministers."

  Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "It seems that you still refuse to recruit from the truth."

  Chen Ying bit her lip, shook her head, and said immediately, "I want to see Your Majesty! I am the Censor of the Left Deputy Capital, and I want to see Your Majesty."

  Zhang Anshi stood up, and said to the left and right: "Put it to death."

   As he spoke, he didn't want to say anything more, and hurried out of the torture room again.

  …

   "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

  Yi Shiha hurried into the hall, showing a bit of panic.

  Zhu Di was sitting in front of the imperial case, playing with a knife in his hand.

  Hearing Yi Shiha's voice, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Why are you so anxious?"

   "Your Majesty...something happened, and now the city is full of wind and rain...Neiqianhusuo suddenly raided Chen Gong's mansion and took Chen Gong away."

  Zhu Di finally had a serious face on his face, and asked strangely: "Which one is Chen Gong?"

   "It's Chen Ying, the censor of the left deputy capital."

  Zhu Di's face changed slightly when he heard it: "Why did Chen Ying and Zhang Anshi become enemies?"

  Yi Shiha said: "It's not about enmity, it means that this Chen Ying is against the party..."

  Zhu Di was dumbfounded, raised his eyebrows and said: "When he was in Jianwen, he was called a rebellious party. Now that I have won the world, he has become a rebellious party again?"

  At the beginning, Chen Ying was exiled because of his collusion with Zhu Di, but unexpectedly, he scored twice.

   "That's why the city was full of wind and rain when the news came out. Your Majesty, isn't the flood flooding the Dragon King Temple?"

  Zhu Di became a little anxious, so he said, "Is Chen Ying okay?"

   "I'm afraid it won't get any better?"

   "He is my humerus, and he is my great Ming's Jing Nan hero. If even he is a rebellious party, are there any loyal ministers in this world?"

   "So the servant hastened to report, Your Majesty, did you arrest the wrong person?"

  Zhu Di lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then said: "Let the Neiqian households go to investigate, and Chen Ying's family should take care of one or two, and tell them... After the investigation, if there is no real evidence, I will keep them safe."

  Yi Shiha smiled wryly and said, "Chen Ying's family also took all of them, leaving none behind."

  Zhu Di: "..."

After a long time, Zhu Di said: "I thought...Chen Ying definitely couldn't be a rebellious party, but since I have given Neiqianhu the power to investigate and deal with it, I can't interfere for no reason. So, you go to Zhang Anshi, and you go in person and tell him …Unless there is real evidence, Chen Ying’s life must be spared. It’s really a mistake, I’m here to clean up the situation and get into his mother… How did I become the **** of the Shengong Supervisor, and I cleaned it up for Zhang Anshi.”

   After finishing speaking, Zhu Di said again: "Whether there is a result or not, Zhang Anshi must report the result. I want to see the confession, and I also want to see Chen Ying!"

  Yi Shiha nodded and said: "This servant knows."

  Zhu Di immediately said: "This matter... don't make a big fanfare, just tell Zhang Anshi secretly, so as not to lose his prestige as an insider."

  Yi Shiha said: "I will go there personally."

  Zhu Di nodded.

  But at this time, Yi Shiha suddenly remembered something, and said again: "Your Majesty, there is also Jin Yiwei... Commander Ji Gang, suddenly beat up the same acquaintance Deng Wu..."

  Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, and said indifferently: "I know."

  He didn't care.

  Yi Shiha took a deep look at Zhu Di, and seemed to understand something, so he turned and left in a hurry.

  ...

   Chen Ying's capture immediately aroused the attention of the ruling and opposition parties.

This is not a trivial matter. Chen Ying is the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, with a high position and authority. Such a person suddenly takes whatever he wants, and Chen Ying has a large number of confidants in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. These confidantes and censors , immediately blasted the pot.

  So Wenyuan Pavilion was in trouble, all the ministers came to have an audience, but they were all unkind and asked about Chen Ying.

  Wenyuan Pavilion also knew nothing about it, and saw a few bold censors making a fuss, wanting to jointly impeach, and Xie Jin and a few came forward to ask His Majesty to severely punish Zhang Anshi and release Chen Ying.

   After some persuasion, they were finally coaxed away.

Xie Jin looked angry: "What is it like now! A minister like Mr. Chen can take whatever he wants. Today he can take the left deputy capital censor, but tomorrow... he will also take the Wenyuange University scholar? It is really unreasonable, During the Hongwu period, he was not so domineering."

  Hu Guang and Yang Rong also looked at each other in blank dismay.

  Actually, this time, Hu Guang and Yang Rong were like Xie Jin, and they were in the same breath.

The main reason is that this matter was too much, without consulting the palace, without informing Wenyuan Pavilion and the Six Departments, and even without a driving sticker, they ran to arrest people with great fanfare, and they were so arrogant and domineering, which is unprecedented in eternity .

Xie Jin looked at the expressions of Hu Guang and Yang Rong, and said, "Look... what should we do? Why don't we wait and go to see His Majesty together, if there is no one to explain this matter, you and I will be ashamed to be ministers. "

  Hu Guang also said: "Xie Gong is right, don't act recklessly like this. Once this example is opened, how can it be?"

  Yang Rong pondered for a while, and then said: "Although the matter is strange, it is really wrong if you ignore it. The three of you, let's meet together."

  Xie Jindao: "What I said earlier, I said it a long time ago, to prevent the erroneous progress, many things... make a step, those Qiu Ba will make progress, but what about you? You think I am too busy, look now, hey..."

  He shook his head, and finally said: "Let's go."

  …

  An edict was sent to Nanchang Mansion.

  In Prince Ning's Mansion, King Ning Zhu Quan received the order, held the edict in his hand, thanked him for his kindness, and immediately returned to the apse of the Prince's Mansion.

   "Your Highness..."

  At this time, Princess Ning was holding the child in her arms, sobbing softly.

  This child is the second son of King Ning who was just born, and he is still in his infancy, but Princess Ning was shocked when she heard that His Majesty wanted Zhu Quan to go to Nanjing

  She wept and said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it will be bad luck if I go here."

  Zhu Quan's face was a bit ugly, he still held the imperial edict, walked around for two steps, his face thoughtful.

  When Emperor Hongwu was still there, people said that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was warlike, while Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, was aggressive.

   These two people have participated in many battles against the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty together. Zhu Di has made the most military achievements, while King Ning's fiefdom has been managed the best.

"Calm down..." Zhu Quan immediately said: "There is nothing to be afraid of, I think...Zhu Di hasn't reached the point where he wants to kill me, if not... With his temperament, he will never do anything unnecessary and order me to go to the capital. "

  Princess Ning said: "At the beginning... Hey... Your Highness, if His Highness didn't treat him as a brother, how could he be fooled by him? So Your Highness must not take it lightly. How about... Your Highness just pretend to be sick and refuse to go."

  Zhu Quan shook his head without hesitation and said: "How can it be so easy? If you don't go, it will be dangerous! My fourth brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

  Princess Ning wept and said: "If His Royal Highness has any good or bad, what will our mother and child do? The children are so young."

  Zhu Quan sneered: "Don't panic, there is always a solution to things, could it be..."

  He frowned, and continued: "That matter... leaked? This matter is so confidential, how could it... be leaked so easily?"

  Princess Ning raised her head abruptly, looked at Zhu Quan closely with her tearful eyes, and said, "Your Highness...it really can't be done, it's better to try to survive..."

Zhu Quan waved his hand: "Don't take risks, absolutely don't take risks, now is definitely not the time to do such a thing, Ning Wangwei has such a team, and in the past two years, the fourth brother has taken precautions against me. How much sand has he mixed in! Outside the palace... let alone how many spies in brocade clothes. But according to this king...he Zhu Di can't do anything to this king for the time being."

   "Why?"

  Zhu Quan said: "If I hadn't lent him troops, how could he be where he is today? What's more... so many heroes of Jing Nan were all my king's army horses at the beginning. If he rashly harmed me, how could he convince the world?"

"So... if you want to be safe and sound, then... this king will not only enter the capital, but also beat drums and gongs to let the whole world know that not only this king is going to Beijing, but you and your children will also go together! Although the will I only let this king go alone, but this king wants to let the people in the world know that this king has nothing to fear and will never hide. At that time, this journey...be more ostentatious. Brother, do you dare to turn your face?"

"He is very face-saving, and he is very happy. He usurped the throne himself. The matter of usurping his nephew's throne is a hidden pain in his heart. This king does not believe it. He really dares to harm this king! Even if this king has committed a catastrophe, see if he can No way."

  Princess Ning was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "But Your Highness...he just killed the acting king."

  Zhu Quan shook his head: "This king and Brother Thirteen are not the same thing."

He pondered for a moment, then said: "After arriving in Nanjing, don't go into the city, take the children, go to Xiaoling Mausoleum first, and go to sacrifice to Huang Kao. Hey... it must be in front of Huang Kao Mausoleum, don't worry... Soldiers come to block you, water comes to cover you, we will Zhu Quan is not a persimmon."

  Princess Ning is still worried.

  But Zhu Quan sat down calmly, as if he had already thought about it, so he ordered a confidant **** to come.

"There must be a lot of secret work outside, watching every move of King Ning's mansion. I have some letters here. Don't send them out later. When I leave, I will go to Nanjing City. Those secret agents of the Jinyiwei will surely Keep an eye on this king. The watch outside the palace will relax. If you send it out quietly, hurry up and reach the capital ahead of the king... especially if there is a letter...to Daning, you must be careful , even if you lose your life, don’t let this letter be lost.”

  The **** bowed down and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, even if the servants lose their lives, they will never disappoint His Highness's expectations."

  Zhu Quan nodded, sighed faintly, then his face darkened again, and said: "Hmph, fourth brother, we should settle our accounts."

  ...

   "Master Hou, Lord Hou..." Chen Li hurried over.

  Zhang Anshi was crossing his legs, holding a teacup in his hand, and took a sip of tea.

  Looking at Chen Li, he put the teacup on the table next to him, and said, "What's the matter?"

   "He confessed?"

   "Is it really recruited?" Zhang Anshi looked surprised, and thought... he would have to struggle for a few more days.

  Chen Lidao: "I haven't tried my best yet. This old thing doesn't take beatings. Of course, the main thing is that you have taught by example and preached. You have learned a lot of skills by being humble by your side. If not..."

  Zhang Anshi scolded immediately: "When did you see me beating someone? You bastard, you are slandering me, a kind-hearted person like Zhang Anshi!"

  Chen Li hurriedly said: "Ah...humble...humble, by the way, Lord Hou...in the past few days, many ministers, especially Yu Shi, have been impeaching you...Your Majesty..."

  Zhang Anshi didn't take it seriously. Of course he knew that he was under a lot of pressure now. Chen Ying was no small character.

   But he was more concerned about Ji Gang, so he said, "What is there about Ji Gang?"

"Beizhen Fusi... After Ji Gang wounded his fellow acquaintance Deng Wu, he took the opportunity... to kill a thousand households, and now... this Beizhen Fusi...does everything sneakily. Ask people about their movements, but the humble friends who used to be in Fusi, Beizhen, are now tight-lipped. According to the humble view, this Ji Gang is killing chickens and monkeys, and everyone is afraid of him."

  Zhang Anshi snorted coldly and said: "What's the use of blindly making people afraid, I, Zhang Anshi, conquer talents with virtue is the highest state."

   "That's right, all the members of Neiqianhu have received your great kindness and virtue, Lord Marquis..."

  Zhang Anshi shook his head: "Don't be long-winded, hold Chen Ying under custody, and bring a confession, go to the palace immediately to report. Your Majesty has been suppressing for so many days, and I think I'm already in a hurry."

"Yes."

  Zhang Anshi personally took the lead, let Chen Ying get into the prison car, and then set off for the palace.

  …

  Zhu Di became more and more concerned about the reverse case.

   On the one hand, this involves King Ning, and on the other hand, it involves Chen Ying.

  So Ji Gang seemed to have gained favor all of a sudden, and was ordered to come to Wulou to have an audience early in the morning.

  At this time, Zhu Di casually flipped through the memorials that Ji Gang sent just now, and said one by one: "You mean...in Daning, the soldiers and civilians there miss King Ning?"

   "Yes." Ji Gang said: "There are also many military officers who drank and said a lot of presumptuous things... Besides..."

   Speaking of this, Ji Gang lowered his voice: "There are quite a few people in Ning Wangwei stationed in Nanchang Mansion... and they go around telling people that if it wasn't for His Highness Ning Wang, His Majesty would have been killed by Jianwen as a rebel."

Zhu Di didn't get angry, but said calmly: "If it weren't for his 80,000 soldiers and horses, I would have been at the end of my life at that time... He was in the palace, and he used witchcraft to harm people. What he wanted to harm with this witchcraft was Who?"

  Ji Gang immediately bowed down and said, "I dare not say it when I am humble."

  Zhu Di's eyes suddenly became severe, staring at Ji Gang: "Do you dare to deceive the king?"

  Ji Gang didn't dare to show his anger, and after a long time, he said: "This witchcraft...want to harm...is...your majesty."

   There was a trace of coldness in Zhu Di's eyes, he narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Really? Is it based on actual evidence?"

   "In the palace, a sorcerer leaked...just... I will continue to investigate thoroughly."

  Zhu Di said: "But didn't he build a study in the palace, where he played the piano and read books all day long?"

  Ji Gang whispered: "He has a lot of confidantes... He will go into the study to talk with him in secret every day, just talk about specific things... humble yet..."

Zhu Di threw these memorials on the desk, his face flickered, and he said: "Zhu Quan...Zhu Quan...this kid...is so smart...When I guarded the border town with him, I knew his ability... Back then, if he had come to Jingnan, I was afraid...he would be the emperor today."

  Paused, he said without raising his head, "Yi Shiha."

  Yi Shiha, who was standing at the side, hurriedly bowed and said, "Your maidservant is here."

  Zhu Di asked: "Has King Ning left?"

   "I have already set off, and I brought my family with me. The two princes also followed. Besides, there is Princess Ning..."

Yi Shiha paused for a moment, then continued: "Besides, this journey... just arrived at Jiujiang Mansion, he disembarked, met the local magistrate and magistrate, and said to the outside world... This time, His Majesty missed him and called him to Beijing... Very ostentatious."

  Zhu Di closed his eyes, thoughtful.

  At this time, an **** came in: "Your Majesty, Zhang Anshi begged to see him, saying that he had brought a prisoner..."

  Zhu Di suddenly raised his head. Said: "Chen Ying?"

   "It's Mr. Chen."

   "Call in."

  When Ji Gang heard the words Zhang Anshi, he was neither happy nor angry. He knew in his heart that it was not Deng Wu who could really replace him, but Zhang Anshi.

  The Neiqianhu Office is also desperately investigating the case... This time, Zhang Anshi must not be allowed to take the lead.

  After half an injection of incense, Chen Ying entered the hall. Chen Ying stumbled into the hall and shouted: "Your Majesty..."

   As he spoke, Chen Ying fell to the ground.

  Seeing Chen Ying like this, Zhu Di was moved.

  Anyway, this person is also Zhu Di's favorite, seeing him like this now, I can't help but feel a little unhappy.

   Immediately afterwards, Zhang Anshi came in.

   "I have seen His Majesty."

  Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Qing, this Chen Ying..."

  Zhang Anshidao: "Your Majesty, I have a confession here. Your Majesty will know it at a glance."

  After hearing this, Chen Ying immediately shouted: "Your Majesty... they are extorting a confession by words and deeds. They insist on saying that the minister has something to do with the rebellious party. Please, Your Majesty... decide..."

   After finishing speaking, weeping loudly.

  At this time, another **** said: "Your Majesty, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, I will seek an audience with all the ministers."

  Zhu Di naturally understood that they must have received the news and rushed over. "

   "Call it in, the matter has come to light, let them come and listen."

   After Xie Jin and others came in, they didn't say anything, but waited patiently.

  Zhu Di looked at Chen Ying: "You mean...Zhang Anshi wronged you?"

"Your Majesty's loyalty to His Majesty can be learned from the sun. Your Majesty...the minister was suddenly caught by Zhang Anshi, and then he was forced to confess by words and deeds. The minister...couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to submit. If your majesty doesn't even believe the minister, this In the world, is there anyone who can be trusted."

  Chen Ying cried even more sadly.

  Zhu Di couldn't help being moved, and looked up at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Qing, in this way, this confession..."

  He raised the confession in his hand: "I'm afraid I can't count it."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I actually knew that he would retract his confession at this time. Think about it, Your Majesty, what kind of person is this Chen Ying? How could I not know that I shot him to death very much, so I dare not wrong him. The reason why I know that he is a rebellious party is actually very simple, that is...to be out of flame..."

   "Tu Huo Chi..." Zhu Di and the others looked at each other.

   "Your Majesty... please read." Zhang Anshi said, and actually took out a letter.

  Yi Shiha handed the letter to Zhu Di, Zhu Di looked down and gasped.

  …

  Brothers and sisters, ask for a monthly pass, woo woo woo...
