Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 197 195-Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Yuying. (6000)

Zhen Wu was riding a horse on the way to King Yan's mansion, and when he was walking, he bumped into Guan Tong's personal guard head-on.

The head of Guantong's bodyguard is called Du You, a rather delicate young man.

He was still in a hurry at first, but when he saw Zhen Wu riding on the horse, he couldn't help but put on a wry smile, and cupped his fists on the horse and said, "Qianhu, don't you already finish the matter?" Is it over?"

Zhen Wu grinned, then pretended to be unhappy and said, "Look at what you said, how much effort do you need to spend on these little thieves."

Du You opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end, he just sighed: "You... you and the commander explain."

"I'm going to apologize now." As he spoke, Zhen Wu inquired: "Is our commander angry?"

Du You thought for a while, and then told Zhen Wu all Guan Tong's reaction, and then made a special point: "The commanders of the other two guards have also arrived, you still have to think about your speech in advance."

Zhen Wu nodded and began to think.

Seeing this, Du You stopped bothering.

After a while, a group of people had already entered Yan Wang's mansion, and went straight to the commander. When they arrived at the place, Du went in first to inform, and after coming out, let Zhen Wu go in by himself.

As soon as Zhen Wu entered, his eyes swept away, and he couldn't help but want to scratch his head.

In the room, there were only three commanders, who seemed to be asking for guilt.

Guan Tong glared at Zhen Wu angrily, and asked, "Tell me, how many people were killed?"

Zhen Wu shrunk his neck and said, "The group of gangsters who attacked and killed me killed all of them on the spot, about 20 people, and then they were suspected of buying my murder behind the scenes. There were five people in total, and I killed all of them."

The commander of the left guard sat firmly on Mount Tai and just drank tea quietly, while the commander of the central defender was named Tang Yun. scold.

"Who gave you the guts to lead soldiers into private houses! Is there no Yamen in Beiping City? Can't I uphold justice for you? You even acted on your own initiative with anger, did you take Wang Fa in your eyes?!"

Zhen Wu was prepared for accountability, but he also pretended to be terrified.

"Convicted of the crime in a humble position, I am willing to receive punishment."

Seeing that Zhen Wu's confession was sincere, Tang Yun didn't try to quibble. Although he was full of complaints and honesty, he didn't want to say anything else. He just snorted angrily and stopped going to see Zhen Wu.

And Guan Tong pointed at Zhen Wu's expression of hating iron but not steel, and kept saying 'you' and 'you', wanting to get angry but reluctant.

Pointing, Guan Tong remembered an important question.

"You said that someone bought you to kill you, do you have evidence?"

Zhen Wu couldn't help grinning, but then he immediately took it back and said, "There are witnesses, and they have already been taken to the yamen."

When Guan Tong heard this, he immediately relaxed a lot, and he turned to look at Tang Yun and the two of them.

"You say, what should we do about this matter?"

Tang Yun looked at Zhen Wu and nodded his head slightly. Although Zhen Wu always makes troubles, he is not stupid. If there is a witness, things will be much easier to handle.

He pondered for a moment, then said: "If there are witnesses, the problem is not so serious. At least they have something to say to the chief secretary and the judge."

This sentence just fell.

The commander of the left guard who had been drinking water at the side suddenly put down the teacup and said firmly, "But it's not enough."

He turned his head to look at Guan Tong: "First beat Zhen Wu with twenty army sticks and lock him up. The three of us don't rest anymore. Let's go to the procuratorate to settle the case of buying a murderer. As for Zhen Wu For Wu's follow-up punishment, I should write to His Highness and let His Highness decide, what do you think?"

Tang Yun nodded, he had no objection to this handling, and felt it was extremely appropriate, but he still couldn't help but glared at Zhen Wu and warned: "Don't rely on His Highness's favor to act recklessly, since you said someone bought the murder If you want to attack and kill you, we will believe it, but if you fabricate the facts and act as a public revenge, even if His Highness spares you, we will definitely not tolerate it."

Zhen Wu's heart trembled, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. Although his original intention this time was to avenge himself, the other party had indeed attacked and killed him first, and there was indeed a conspiracy.

"The humble official dare not lie. The corpses of more than [-] people from the Jianghu family in the Liang family are still there. If the humble official hadn't prepared for it, even if the humble official did not have to worry about his life, the people who walked with me at that time were afraid that they would not be able to be preserved. That's why the humble official Get angry and go straight to the door."

There was competition among the three guards of the guards, and there were many quarrels in the past, but to outsiders, the three guards themselves were a whole, so after hearing what Zhen Wu said, Tang Yun nodded and said in relief: "Okay, you don't have to worry too much about it." Worried, if you dare to attack and kill our guards, you can't let them go lightly."

At this time, Guantong was not confident, and asked tentatively: "It is true that the military stick should be used, but let's discuss it again. I think it is unnecessary to be imprisoned..."

Before he finished speaking, Guan Tong couldn't speak.

Tang Yun and the two looked at Guantong and frowned dissatisfied.

Both of them were speechless.

Grandma's, the guardian is not the guardian of the law, this is enough to accommodate, if it is just a few hits with the army stick, who can't see that they are fooling people, this makes outsiders think of their guards.

Seeing this, Guan Tong sighed helplessly, walked to Zhen Wu, patted Zhen Wu on the shoulder, and then shouted to the outside in a deep voice: "Come here, beat Zhen Wu with twenty army sticks, and then lock him up." , wait and see."

The sergeant who came in clasped his fists to accept the order, and took Zhen Wu down to execute the punishment.

The three of Guantong got up and walked towards the inspector.

Leaving aside for the time being, how did Guan Tong and the three of them get the head start when they arrived at the Inspectorate, saying, "Can Beiping City still stay?"The majestic thousands of households were rewarded by the rivers and lakes, and the people who bought the murder were allowed to get away with it in the city. Could it be that one day His Highness is attacked in the city, so you can take it seriously? 'some type of.

After Zhen Wu was beaten with the army stick, he gave a few words to Cao Xiaoman who came with him, and then he was locked in the cell under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Demotion?
Sitting in the cell, Zhen Wu shook his head, probably not, it was estimated that he would only be locked up for a period of time, but the family members were afraid that they would be worried again, and they might run wild again.

However, the reaction of his family members was beyond Zhen Wu's expectation.

When Cao Xiaoman returned home, he told Zhang Yuqing about the matter, and then told Zhang Yuqing Zhen Wu's words of relief, but Zhang Yuqing did not keep nagging worriedly as Zhen Wu thought.

Instead, he calmly persuaded the aunt and Chen Yao who were on the side.

"You don't have to worry, I know my son, it must be really all right, God is sorry, his uncle's revenge can be regarded as revenge, this is excellent."

Auntie covered her mouth, holding back the sound of crying, but the palm of her hand couldn't stop the tears, and it flowed all over her hands.

And Chen Yao looked up at the sky with red eyes.

I don't know if the two of them are excited about the revenge of their vengeance, or worried about Zhen Wu being imprisoned.

in the evening.

After eating, Zhang Yuqing avoided everyone. Until then, she couldn't bear her emotions. Zhen Wu is the pillar of the family, and now he is being imprisoned, how can he not be worried.

In the night, a sigh sounded in the room.

"Father, you always let me understand the general situation. I can do as you wish, but I just feel uncomfortable in my heart. Don't blame me for being stingy. His uncle is not as important as my son. If it weren't for you always talking about it when you were alive. , I won’t let my eldest son help him, hey, you will definitely say that I am a woman, but I just think so, so what can I do.”

Zhang Yuqing's nagging sound was soft and rambling until late at night.

……

While Zhen Wu was in custody.

The case was quickly investigated and settled.

But even though the case was settled, the matter of Zhen Wu leading soldiers to break into private houses and take revenge privately was not over yet. The three of Guan Tong hurriedly asked Zhu Di for instructions on how to deal with Zhen Wu's letter, but they never got a reply, so they had to command the three guards It can only be dragged.

Zhu Di is the supreme leader of the guard army, and Zhen Wu is Zhu Di's confidant and favorite general, so Zhu Di must give instructions on how to deal with it.

After the three of Guantong discussed, they sent another letter to Zhu Di, in which there was a bit of a plea to Zhen Wu to alleviate the guilt, but unexpectedly, this letter still fell silent and there was no reply.

There was no reply this time, and the meaning seems to be a little different.

This incident quickly spread among the guards, and many people began to pay close attention to it for a while. Tan Yuan, Wang Zhen, Zhang Wu Xuelu from the right guard, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Huo Zhen from the central guard, and others, all Even Zhang Yu from the left guard is somewhat interested in this matter.

Some are worried, some are on the sidelines, and some are gloating.

Like in the camp of the Zhongwei Cavalry Army, Huo Zhen and Chen Gui sat together and chatted about this matter.

Huo really laughed heartily a few times.

"What do you mean His Highness this time? Will you severely punish that boy Zhen Wu? Speaking of which, Zhen Wu is too stupid this time. Relying on His Highness's favor, he dared to lead troops to retaliate privately. Who does he think he is? Do you really think His Highness can tolerate him infinitely?"

Chen Gui was calm, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

"There's nothing wrong with that. After this time, Your Highness will definitely not trust Zhen Wu as much as before. You know, His Highness is quite respectful of rules."

"That's what I said, but His Highness has always loved Zhen Wu, so I'm afraid he won't do anything about it."

Huo really looked at Chen Gui with dissatisfaction. Chen Gui had not cooperated with him all the time, which made him gloat a bit, and couldn't help but said: "Even so, so what? Zhen Wu is not His Highness's son, so it is possible that he can still do it." Tolerance in everything?"

son?

Chen Gui shook his head amusedly, Zhen Wu is indeed not His Highness's son, what Huo Zhen said is not without reason, in the end they are just subordinates, but Chen Gui is old, and there is no such thing as a fight for favor. No interest, so I didn't follow the fire and really say anything.

On the other side, the three of Guantong were also discussing in the room.

Tang Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Severe punishment?"

Guan Tong said displeasedly: "Your Highness hasn't said anything yet, and you are eager to punish him severely. Tang Yun, you are really good at it. You really don't want to get involved in any trouble."

Tang Yun said unhappily: "What are you talking about? Zhen Wu belongs to you, not mine. His Highness didn't reply to the pleading letter. What do you mean? I don't believe you don't understand. Why should I do it for yours?" People, to offend His Highness?"

The commander of the left guard also nodded at this time, and he said to Guan Tong: "I think what Brother Tang Yun said is reasonable. After all, Zhen Wu is only your man. If you want to plead for mercy and protect the calf, we will not stop you, but We are going to do it according to His Majesty's will."

"No, I can't ask for love alone." Guantong said angrily, but he was thinking in his heart that he must pull Tang Yun and the other two.

When the three of them were discussing intensely, in the deep inner house of King Yan's mansion, in Zhu Gaoxu's courtyard, Zhu Gaoxu was whipping an eunuch with a tyrannical expression.

A whip was harder than a whip, and when the whip fell on the eunuch's body, it immediately turned into a bloodstain.

The eunuch wailed and begged for mercy.

But Zhu Gaoxu acted as if he hadn't heard of it, and he didn't have any strength in his hands, which made him look a little hideous.

"Dog, let me see if you still dare to chew my eldest sister's tongue in the future. If you don't beat you to death today, grandpa will accompany you to become a eunuch."

Zhu Gaoxu raised his long whip heavily, and swung it down again with a snap.

Then one whip after another, in succession.

Gradually.

The voice of the eunuch begging for mercy became smaller and weaker, and the whole person began to lose strength, but Zhu Gaoxu was still relentless and insisted on beating him to death.

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi hurried over.

"Second brother, stop beating, stop beating."

Zhu Gaoxu raised his brows: "What? My good brother, you want to meddle in my discipline?"

"It's not that I want to intervene."

Zhu Gaochi moved his fatter and fatter body, breathed heavily and stretched out his hand to stop Zhu Gaoxu: "It's no good for you to do this. Instead, you will be reprimanded when your father comes back. Why do you say you are here?"

Zhu Gaoxu snorted.

He glanced at Zhu Gaochi sideways, and said in a bad tone: "Yeah, I'm not like you. The servant dropped your favorite glazed cup, and you still spoke softly to each other. In this case, if you have the ability, don't cry secretly at night." , hypocrisy?!"

While speaking, Zhu Gaoxu had already struggled away from Zhu Gaochi. He was already brave, and it was difficult for the fat Zhu Gaochi to stop him.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Zhu Gaochi disdainfully, and then turned back to look at the eunuch, his eyes were full of sternness, Zhu Gaoxu swung his whip, and lashed at the eunuch again several times.

These few strokes directly killed the eunuch.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu whipped the corpse a few more times, then dropped the whip contentedly, clapped his hands, turned around and walked to the stone pavilion beside him, picked up a jug of water and drank a few gulps.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the dead eunuch, closed his eyes and sighed unbearably, but he also knew that the matter had come to an end, and it was useless to talk more, he glanced at Zhu Gaoxu who was indifferent, and had no choice but to ask someone to come in, and then carefully Instruct someone to properly dispose of the corpse.

Zhu Gaoxu just watched Zhu Gaochi deal with it without saying a word.

After Zhu Gaochi had dealt with it and only the two brothers were left in the courtyard, Zhu Gaochi came to sit down beside Zhu Gaoxu. He sighed and said earnestly: "Second brother, don't act like this again. It is also a good thing for people to be more tolerant.”

"Good thing?"

Zhu Gaoxu's tone was full of doubts: "There is a reward for meritorious service, and there is a punishment for wrongdoing, so why be tolerant? It would be a bad thing if these dogs were allowed to act unscrupulously."

Zhu Gaochi also wanted to explain that tolerance does not mean that there is no distinction between rewards and punishments, nor is it connivance, but he looked at Zhu Gaoxu's resolute and innocent face, sighed again, and held back what he wanted to say.

The second brother is older and has his own style of doing things.

However, Zhu Gaochi still wanted to ask, what could make Zhu Gaoxu so angry, so he said, "What did you do that made you insist on beating him to death?"

Zhu Gaoxu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Chew our elder sister's tongue, should I hit her?"

Zhu Gaochi was speechless when he heard this.

On the contrary, Zhu Gaoxu became a little interested, and carefully scrutinized Zhu Gaochi's expression: "Let's see, eldest brother also knows about our eldest sister?"

Zhu Gaochi didn't say he knew or didn't know, he just smiled at Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes, he was most annoyed by Zhu Gaochi, what he couldn't say clearly, if he knew it, he knew it, if he didn't know it, he didn't know it, what does it mean to act like this, he used to pretend to be stupid.

He didn't want to talk to Zhu Gaochi any more, and leaned against the stone pavilion, holding the water bottle in annoyance, and drank a lot more from the spout.

Speaking of which, he didn't disagree with Zhen Wu marrying his eldest sister, and he also felt that such a hero as Zhen Wu was worthy of his eldest sister.

only…

Zhu Gaoxu took another sip from the spout, feeling inexplicably melancholy, and the boiled water that flowed into his stomach seemed to leave a taste of sugar water in his mouth.

But the more it looked like sugar water, the more bitter he felt it.

The girl who looked at him pitifully but stubbornly with tears in her eyes seemed to reappear in his eyes.

"Who cares about a little girl who doesn't know much?" Zhu Gaoxu muttered.

Zhu Gaochi didn't hear clearly, and asked suspiciously: "What?"

"It's nothing."

However, at this moment, Zhu Yuying walked in with Jin'er, and she saw the two brothers in the stone pavilion stunned, with a bit of curiosity in their eyes.

"What are you two doing here?"

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "Then why are you here?"

But Zhu Gaochi stood up, welcomed Zhu Yuying in, and explained by the way: "I have nothing to do, so I came to chat with my second brother. Is there something for the elder sister?"

Zhu Yuying's breath was stagnant, and she had the nerve to say that she came here for Zhen Wu's affairs, but she turned her eyes, then walked to Zhu Gaoxu's side, stretched out her hand and twisted his ear: "I'm here, why don't you return this?" Sitting carelessly, look at you, what do you look like, can't you learn more from your brother?"

Zhu Gaoxu was so annoying that he wanted to slap Zhu Yuying's hand off, but Zhu Yuying stared at him beautifully, and he immediately conceded defeat without saying a word: "It's okay, I'm wrong."

Only then did Zhu Yuying nodded in satisfaction.

But when she sat down, she found that both Zhu Gaochi and his brothers were looking at her eagerly. Zhu Yuying felt a little ashamed when she thought of the reason for her visit, and wanted to chat about something else.

However, Zhu Yuying really couldn't bear the eyes of the two of them, she sank her heart, and said it directly after gritting her teeth.

"I heard that Zhen...Brother Zhen made a mistake, father wants to punish him severely?"

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other with a strange look in their eyes, which was very strange.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said: "Others don't know, and the elder sister doesn't know? I know what Ge Changshi is busy with recently. How could the father severely punish Zhen Wu?"

Zhu Yuying's pretty face flushed, and she glared at Zhu Gaoxu in embarrassment.

"But why is Big Brother Zhen still locked up? In that prison..." Zhu Yuying glanced at the two of them and said, "That prison is not a place for people to stay."

"It's okay, I'll let you go when my father comes back." Zhu Gaoxu said nonchalantly.

Zhu Yuying didn't believe it, she looked at Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi also nodded and said: "Eldest sister, don't worry, the second brother is right."

"Then...then you can help me to ask, I am not familiar with General Guan and the others." Zhu Yuying said, seeing that Zhu Gaochi and the two had strange expressions, she quickly added: "You know, Brother Zhen saved me life, that's why I... I care."

After finishing speaking, he became angry from embarrassment: "You just said whether to go or not?"

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Gaoxu, then turned to Zhu Yuying and said, "Second younger brother is the most familiar with several generals, you can ask second younger brother if he is willing."

Zhu Yuying looked at Zhu Gaoxu with anticipation.

Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes with a look of indifference, and said with a bit of impatience: "Oh, my eldest sister, I can clearly hear what our mother said that day, and the meaning is very clear. Our father wants to marry you Zhen Wu, why are you worried about this? The process has come to this point, and Zhen Wu will never be wronged."

"Zhu Gaoxu." Zhu Yuying said angrily.

Zhu Gaochi also said with a heavy face at this time: "Second brother, you can't say that. After all, many people don't know, and there is no conclusion on the matter, so we need to be cautious."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand impatiently again.

"All right, all right, I'll just make a trip. Speaking of which, when I was in the army, Zhen Wu took good care of me, so I should go too."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaoxu got up directly, and went straight to the commanding officer vigorously and resolutely.

It's time to command the envoy.

The three of Guan Tong were discussing whether to severely punish Zhen Wu, and Guan Tong was getting more and more at a disadvantage. Zhu Gaoxu rushed in with a look of arrogance.

He said very bluntly: "Why is Zhen Wu still locked up? When will he be released?"

Have fun watching children.

Tang Yun frowned and said, "Your Highness has to instruct you to do this."

Zhu Gaoxu said impatiently: "Is there anything good to instruct." After finishing speaking, he muttered: "This is almost my brother-in-law, what else can my father instruct?"

He mumbled quietly.

But in the quiet room, Guan Tong and the three could faintly hear it.

They looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said: "You can figure it out, I just want to say one thing, I wronged Zhen Wu, be careful and I will trouble you later."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaoxu left with a proud face again, walking with great momentum, like a vigorous and vigorous fighter at a young age.

But none of the three Guan Tong in the room cared about Zhu Gaoxu's temperament, instead they looked at each other in blank dismay at Zhu Gaoxu's muttering just now.

What did Zhu Gaoxu mutter just now?
You heard me right.

Brother-in-law? !
This…

Tang Yun opened his mouth and said: "Who said that we should be severely punished?! Everyone is a member of the guards. Why don't you treat your family better when you close the door? I suggest that there is no need for severe punishment at all. See if we let Zhen Qian Hu go home and stand by, waiting for His Royal Highness to deal with it?"

Guantong and the two were shocked.

Is this the change of face of the commander level?

……

　If the update is late, it will not be disassembled, and it will be directly combined.
