Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 160 158 - Jade Pendant (seek to pursue 3000)

Night falls.

After Zhen Wu dealt with the matter briefly, he walked into Zhang Yuqing and the others' yard. He had a headache and didn't know how to explain to Zhang Yuqing and the others.

When Zhang Yuqing saw Zhen Wu coming, he quickly asked the two sages to serve the food.

Zhen Wu was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't eaten because of his busy schedule, unexpectedly Zhang Yuqing and the others hadn't eaten either, he looked at the group of women and children and sighed.

"Mother, I'm sorry, the third child was taken away."

Zhang Yuqing forced a smile and said: "You are the head of the family, so you don't have to tell your mother about these things. If the third child commits a crime, you can protect it if you are an older brother. If you can't keep the family, you won't blame you." .”

Erxian quickly arranged the meals, but the whole family was staring at each other without any appetite.

Zhen Wu looked at Zhang Yuqing and said, "Mother, don't worry, the third child is fine. I guarantee that the third child will come back alive and well within a month at most."

Zhang Yuqing looked at Zhen Wu with bright eyes.

Zhen Wu nodded heavily, and said again: "I promise."

The melancholy on Zhang Yuqing's face disappeared a lot in an instant, and even the second sage, the fourth sister and the fifth sister were relieved. Zhen Wu was not at home often, and when he was at home, he was also the head of the family. As Zhen Wu's prestige at home became more and more Gao, no one has dared to play temper with Zhen Wu for a long time, but the third child is different, he is often at home, whether it is with Zhang Yuqing, the second sage, or the fourth and fifth younger sisters, as well as the younger six and younger seven, there is often some tension between them. noisily.

If you are in a hurry, you will complain and complain.

But the third child was taken away, and within a day, everyone was already worried.

What kind of family, what kind of temperament, his family all value love.

After dinner, Zhen Wu came to the third child's room, and did not light the lights at night. He quietly thought about the development of this matter, wondering if the palace had already found something out of it, thinking about it, the second sage Came over with a light on.

Erxian was startled when she saw Zhen Wu sitting in the room, but when she looked again, she suddenly felt a little sore in her heart. She gently put down the lamp, walked behind Zhen Wu, and held Zhen Wu's shoulders.

"Brother, are you tired?"

Zhen Wu shook his head.

Er Xian said: "I know, I used to feel tired thinking about how to earn tens of pennies, not to mention you support our big family now."

"Different."

"What's the difference."

Zhen Wu thought for a while and said, "It's like I feel tired after cooking a meal, and it's even more difficult to imagine that you take care of the housework day after day."

"There's nothing like housework." Er Xian said.

"It's very important in my heart. If this family didn't have you, it wouldn't be what it is now. In many places, my brother can't compare to you."

"elder brother."

Er Xian was dissatisfied with what Zhen Wu said, and deliberately used force with his hands, but then sighed, not intending to say more on this topic, and changed the subject: "Brother, it's time for you to find us a sister-in-law."

amount.

Zhen Wu suddenly didn't want to talk anymore, he waved his hand to tell the two sages to stop pinching, stood up and said: "Don't talk, don't talk, it's time to go back and rest."

The two sages knew Zhen Wu's temperament, so they gave Zhen Wu a blank look, and let Zhen Wu stop talking, and turned around to clean up the old clothes that the third child changed during the day.

"Why are you doing this?"

"I'll gather them up and wash them together tomorrow." Erxian said, his hands kept moving.

Sudden.

Erxian snorted, "When will Sanyong have a jade pendant?!"

Zhen Wu glanced at it and didn't take it seriously: "Young man, it's no big deal to buy a jade pendant."

"No, where did he get the money? It can't be stolen, right? There's blood on it, and, brother, look, there's also a name." Er Xian said doubtfully.

Zhen Wu became interested, took the jade pendant and looked at it.

Yu Yun.

This should be a personal name. Zhen Wu said it twice, and somehow felt a little familiar, but Zhen Wu thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of it for a while, so he said: "I will take this jade pendant first, and I will give it to the third brother later." , go to bed early after you’re done.”

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu returned to his courtyard while thinking again.

The more Zhen Wu thought about it, the more familiar it became, and gradually he was sure that he must have seen this name before.

Unable to let go of this matter for a while, I went to the study.

Since he was promoted to [-] households, there have been more and more official duties. In addition, he learned to write before, so he built a study room, but relatively speaking, he didn't have much time to use the study room. Recently, all the materials he investigated Mengju were placed in the study room .

Zhen Wu lit the lamp, and began to look through Meng Ju's information again.

The first glance fell on Meng Ju's nephew's name, Wang Yun.

Zhen Wu frowned.

Could it be his?Accidentally fell into the arms of the third child while fighting with the third child?This is possible, but the name on the jade pendant is also wrong. If it belongs to Wang Yun, it should be engraved with Wang Yun, and there is no reason to engrave Yu Yun.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu looked at Wang Yun's biological parents on the information, and there was no one with the surname Yu. Zhen Wu shook his head and focused on other aspects.

Slowly, Zhen Wu got nothing and had to give up.

Zhen Wu yawned, threw the jade pendant on the desk, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

Time passed little by little.

Slowly it was late at night.

When Zhen Wu was sleeping in a daze, a few fierce dog barks woke up Zhen Wu who was not dead in an instant. Zhen Wu quickly dressed, picked up his waist knife, and walked out. Just when he came to the front yard, Cao Xiaoman Just ran over.

"What happened?" Zhen Wu asked.

The barking of the dog is obviously wrong.

Cao Xiaoman said: "When I heard the movement, I checked it immediately. There were footprints on the outer wall. It should be that someone wanted to climb over the wall and was scared away by the dog."

Zhen Wu couldn't help but curse secretly.

"Are you sure everyone is scared away?"

Cao Xiaoman shook his head in embarrassment.

"In this way, go and wake up Ma Ren, Ma Yi, and other resting people, light up a few more lanterns, and go through the house bit by bit to see if anyone has slipped in, and check all the empty rooms One more time, and also check my courtyard, I will sleep in the third room tonight and guard my mother's courtyard, and you all have a careful look at the other places."

"Yes." After Cao Xiaoman took the order, he went quickly.

Zhen Wu cursed and went to the third child's room with a knife in his hand.

His grandma's still makes people stop.

No sleep for one night.

Zhen Wu's spirit was a little low, but fortunately, nothing happened, but then, Zhen Wu began to wonder, who would be the person who came in the middle of the night?Mengju people?

But now that Mengju and the others have the upper hand, he should be the one who is anxious.

How could it be possible to send someone to his house in the middle of the night? It was completely unnecessary.

Zhen Wu shook his head. He didn't know why he didn't sleep all night, or what happened. He always felt that his brain was not enough, and he couldn't figure out many things.

But if I don't understand it, I don't understand it. It's obviously not right these few days, and Zhen Wu has to brace himself and be careful.

In this way, two days passed in a flash.

Prince Yan's Mansion, in Zhu Di's study.

After Zhu Di listened to Yang Jing's report, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he said, "You mean that all of them were silenced after checking the witnesses? A total of more than 20 people were silenced? Even the origin of this witness could not be found out." come out?"

Yang Jing nodded with embarrassment.

Zhu Di slammed his fist on the table. If it wasn't for someone secretly staring at Meng Ju's nephew and seeing Zhen Yong's fight with them, Meng Ju would have planted it for real. Yes, the mind can be so meticulous.

But since this is the case, there is no reason to talk about it. He is a majestic King Yan who has the right to play shameless.

"Who was following Mengju's nephew at that time? Let him stand up as a witness."

Yang Jing wondered: "But it was in secret at the time, and there was no witness to testify."

"I don't care if he is in the dark or in the open. In this case, you go to Zhen Wu and fabricate some evidence for Meng Ju. Zhen Wu is familiar with this matter. No matter what you do, I want you to convict Meng Ju to death. My subordinate loves the general, and I still want to be safe and sound, do you think I, Zhu Di, have a good temper?"

"What about the others? Did you take the opportunity to wipe out the Mengju Party?" Yang Jing asked.

Zhu Di thought for a while, then sighed unwillingly and said, "The petty crime of planting will not implicate a few people, so let the others go first and clean up slowly."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di thumped the table unwillingly.

Can't clean them all up, after all, it makes people uncomfortable, like knowing that the little concubine is thinking about others and has affection, but for the sake of rules, she has to pretend not to know.

And in these two days.

The turmoil in the city, the true and false rumors are getting hotter and hotter. There are various theories about Zhen Wu's bullying, tyranny and brutality, but gradually one of them suddenly emerged.

Zhen Wu has been imprisoned by the King of Yan, and will be executed soon.

Along with this, more and more common people discussed privately and spread word of mouth.

Zhen Wu was like an evil villain who was finally defeated by justice. Many people who didn't know the truth began to shout Yan Wang's benevolence and distinguish right from wrong.

Only some people who had contact with Zhen Wu raised a little doubt.

"The Zhen Wu I know is not that kind of person."

But this kind of argument, in the Analects of other people's "knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart", "what's so good about being an official", can't make any more waves.

Those people who miss Zhen Wu, have received benefits from Zhen Wu, and firmly believe that Zhen Wu is a good person gradually stopped arguing and just silently worried for Zhen Wu in their own homes.

And these rumors in the city were also brought into the army after the sergeant's rest.

Zhen Wu's subordinates suddenly seemed to explode.

"How is it possible, how can such a good person as our lord be what they say, I don't believe it."

"I don't believe it either. My lord must start every battle and visit his injured brother after every battle. How can he bully others? It's a bit brutal, but it's also treating the enemy."

"But they all said that the adults will be questioned and beheaded."

"I don't believe it. I'm going to ask Hu Zongqi. My lord must have been wronged. I'm going to help my lord to avenge my grievances."

"Go together."

"Go together."

Voices sounded one after another, with the same words and the same firmness, representing their general approval of Zhen Wu.

These ordinary sergeants don't understand the truth, but they know that a pair of eyes can see people well.
