Daming: From the end of Hongwu

188 Chapter 186 - Two lives for one

Zhen Wu was still thinking about this while changing his clothes.

Protection alone doesn't seem to be enough.

If Auntie and the others were the enemies in their mouths, knowing that Auntie was living in his house, would they think that he would take the revenge? If they dared to set fire to Beiping City, wouldn't they dare to set fire to Zhen's Mansion? !

Speaking of which, Zhen Wu is not afraid of any enemies, especially in the borders of Beiping City, there are not many people who can make him panic, so he dared to let his aunt and the others live in his house, but this made an extra enemy for no reason. Zhen Wu was very unhappy.

Now it is no longer a question of whether one recognizes a relative or not, but a question of whether the relative has made an enemy or not.

It seems that it is still necessary to understand what kind of enemies Auntie and the others have provoked. If he is accidentally raped by others, it will be really funny.

After thinking about it, Zhen Wu sighed.

After all, it was a bit sloppy.

Zhen Wu couldn't help being a little annoyed. He didn't think that Auntie and the others could make any serious enemies. He felt that his position of a thousand households was enough to make most people shy away. Be careful.

If he had known this earlier, he would definitely not have gone home immediately.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so passive, so he doesn't care about it now, and he doesn't care about it.

After changing his clothes, Zhen Wu pondered quietly for a while.

In the end, he decided to go to Auntie to find out what happened, which would help him to make a judgment in the future.

So Zhen Wu got up and went back to the main room where Zhang Yuqing and the others were staying.

Aunt and Niang were not in the mood to clean up. Seeing Zhen Wu who had returned, their eyes lit up. Zhang Yuqing also looked at Zhen Wu, with some helplessness in his eyes.

"Boss, do you want to help your uncle? If your father knew that your uncle died unexpectedly, he would definitely not let it go."

Zhang Yuqing had a brief understanding of the matter. Although she did not have much contact with her relatives, she could empathize with her husband's emotions.

On the contrary, children like Zhen Wu will be more realistic and rational.

Zhen Wu nodded.

"Auntie, can you tell me about Uncle's affairs in detail? I have some face in Beiping City, maybe it will be useful to report to the officials."

Auntie nodded excitedly.

Afterwards, the aunt began to describe the uncle's affairs in detail.

The uncle's name is Zhen Xingcheng, who was originally an official in Xi'an Prefecture. Since Zhu Yuanzhang intentionally moved the capital to Xi'an and let Zhu Biao go on a tour of the west, the entire boundary of Shaanxi has been somewhat turbulent.

Everyone knows that the capital city has always been a place where talents and economies gather, and it is bound to usher in great development. Therefore, people in Xi'an are happy to see its success, but there is one person in Xi'an who is definitely not happy.

That is King Qin whose fiefdom is in Xi'an.

He has been in Xi'an for many years, and he has also been in business for many years. If he really moves the capital to Xi'an, he will definitely be renamed. Now that the world is counting, is there any better place than Xi'an?
No, even if there were, those places would not be sealed to him.

Therefore, the King of Qin tried everything possible to prevent Zhu Biao from going west, but he did not expect the news to leak out. When he was summoned to the capital by Zhu Yuanzhang, he gave an order to find out the informer and kill him.

And Zhen Xingcheng, and the father of the girl next to my aunt were among them. As for whether they were killed by mistake, I don't know, but my aunt knew that a total of nearly a hundred people were forcibly taken into a house.

The sound of wailing within it lasted for three days.

When talking about this, the girl's eyes were full of hatred, and she said coldly: "My father has never participated in such a thing, all of this is caused by Zhao Taboo, he wanted me to be his little boy before. As a concubine, I held a grudge against my father's verbal refusal, and as far as I know, many people who had a grudge against Zhao Yao that day were all caught up in that house. After a few days, that house became a dead house. People come out of it."

"Who is Zhao Yu?"

The girl's cold eyebrows twitched with hatred: "The officials outside the Prince Qin's mansion have relied on King Qin to do everything in the city of Xi'an all these years."

Zhen Wu nodded, raised his eyes, and asked again: "You said you reported to the government before?"

The aunt said: "We haven't reported it, but I know that the family members of those other dead people have sued, and even sued the prince, but those people disappeared afterwards."

At this moment, the girl spoke bluntly again: "This matter involves King Qin, how can those officials care about it? Even the crown prince, how could he be strict with his brothers because of us?"

Zhen Wu didn't speak, and fell into deep thought.

In his memory, Zhu Biao was a man of benevolence and righteousness, which was in stark contrast to Zhu Yuanzhang's brutality. At that time, he also thought so, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang was bloodthirsty, slaughtered heroes, curbed corruption, and did anything to stabilize his regime.

Among these actions, Zhu Biao asked Zhu Yuanzhang to put down the butcher knife several times for these people, and at the same time cared for his younger brothers. He was a very good brother and a benevolent prince.

Such a prince seems to be praised by everyone, but an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang will only arouse fear in others.

But now, Zhen Wu understands that everything is relative. Behind Zhu Yuanzhang's bloodthirsty is the strictness of the government, while Zhu Biao's kindness is tolerant of the privileged class.

But this world needs the privileged class after all, without the privileged class, how can the emperor's seat be secure?

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew.

He is also compromising for the sake of his Zhu family's world.

At this time, Zhang Yuqing looked at Zhen Wu, and asked weakly: "Son, do you think you need to ask the King of Yan, the King of Yan values ​​you so much, or should we report it to the King of Yan and let the King of Yan uphold justice?"

Zhen Wu directly shook his head.

What Zhu Biao did in this matter cannot be wrongly said. In the Chinese country, benevolence and filial piety are paramount, and he can cover up for his younger brother without losing benevolence and righteousness.

Therefore, King Yan must not be involved in this matter.

If he is involved, Zhu Yuanzhang can't spare him, let alone others. Zhu Yuanzhang can take care of his son, but if anyone wants to fan the flames, Zhu Yuanzhang's sword will be turned.

Zhen Wu said directly to Auntie and the others: "I can't do anything about King Qin's matter, the most I can do is keep you safe."

Auntie shook her head at this moment: "How could we be greedy to punish the King of Qin, we only want to be able to kill the villain Zhao Yu, for this reason, Xiaoyao and I chased all the way to Beiping, just to be able to kill this thief. "

Speaking of this, the aunt paused: "Auntie will not make it difficult for you, and will never delay your future. If you help me kill this thief and avenge your uncle, I will surrender to the yamen. A life for a life."

Xiaoyao suddenly walked up to Zhen Wu, knelt down, kowtowed three times, and said in a clear and resentful voice: "Afterwards, I am willing to go to the Yamen to surrender myself, as long as my father's hatred is avenged, I will exchange my life for this one." I don’t hesitate to take the life of a thief, so I beg Big Brother Zhen to help me, even if it’s because I’m related to Madam Zhen, Xiaoyao hereby begs Big Brother Zhen.”

Seeing this, all the people present were moved, and the third child was a little bit surprised. This little girl lost her previous cold-eyed look when facing her elder brother.

I also know that I need to bow my head.

Zhen Wu's heart also fluctuated. Two lives were exchanged for the life of an accomplice. The culprit dared not even think about it. This is this world.
