Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 360 You ask for a way out, Gu will give you a way out

Zhu Gaoxuan lifted the jug and took a sip.

Zhang Muzhi drew out the saber without hesitation, the snow-white Xiuchun blade came out of its sheath, and rested on the neck of the old man in sackcloth.

"What did you say?"

Zhang Muzhi said with a blank face, "Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."

Lord humiliate to death!

What the old man in sackcloth said was tantamount to provoking the majesty of the prince. Perhaps Zhu Gaoxuan didn't care, but Zhang Muzhi couldn't bear it.

The blade rubbed against his neck, leaving a line of bright red blood. The old man in sackcloth raised his hand to hold the blade, and exclaimed, "Good knife."

Really good knife.

The blade held by Zhang Muzhi is an imperial gift, decorated with gold and jade, it is quite similar to the standard waist saber, but the blade is slightly shorter than ordinary waist sabers, and has a silver moon-like arc.Yuci swords are mostly used for decoration, and rarely sharpened, but this special Yuci Xiuchun knife is a blood-drinking sword, and its sharpness is decisive.

There are only three handles of this knife, besides Zhang Mu, there are Lu Chaoyang and Shen Qingyu.

Without exception, the three were all from Jinyiwei, and they were capable generals under Zhu Gaoyi's sect. They were decisive in killing and attacking others, and they were also called "Three Eagles of the Eastern Palace".However, due to Jin Yiwei's notoriety, there were also rumors that the three were called the "Three Dogs of the East Palace".

Zhang Muzhi said coldly: "I will take your head, like killing a chicken or a dog."

Among the three eagles in the East Palace, he is quite similar to Lu Chaoyang, he never thinks of the consequences, not only kills people like cutting grass, but also treats his own name like nothing.

As long as the crown prince gives an order, he will wipe the neck of the sackclothed old man in front of him without hesitation, even if he is the descendant of Lao Shizi's Kong family, he will kill him when the king of heaven comes!

"Muzhi, put down the knife."

At this time, Zhu Gaoxuan finally spoke slowly.

Zhang Muzhi paused for a moment, took a deep look at the old man in sackcloth, then put the knife back into its sheath, and stepped back four or five steps, but his hand was still on the handle of the knife.

"It's useless to kill me."

The old man in sackcloth touched the blood on his neck, and said calmly, "I mocked the Yangzhou Seventeen Family as a pawn, so why am I not a pawn. In the end, I was just pushed by the Southern Sect of the Kong family to speak It's just people."

"After I die, someone will take my place."

Zhu Gaoxuan didn't answer this question, but raised his hand to signal: "Yu Qian, Mu Zhi, it's raining too much, you two should help the young master to go to the shore by boat first."

"promise."

After waving the screen back to the left and right, there were only two people left in Huafang's room.

Zhu Gaoxuan's usually unmoving eyes now had some imperceptible fluctuations flickering: "You are a bit interesting."

The old man in sackcloth smiled slightly: "The old man thinks the same way. I thought His Highness was an idiot, but now it seems that I have taken you too lightly."

Picking up the jug, Zhu Gaoxuan said unhurriedly, "If Gu really was a common man, you wouldn't have come to look for Gu."

"Now, there are only you and me left here. There will be no one within a hundred steps. The rain is so loud that the sound cannot be heard outside."

"You should also express your true sincerity to Gu."

……

……

A hundred steps away, Yu Qian was standing on the shore, and the rocks were beaten by the wind-swept river. The ships on the water were swaying in the waves, and the storm almost destroyed everything.

He sighed, and said: "Muzhi, I don't understand why the crown prince wants the three of us to step down, and you and I are fine, why do you want the young master to step down too?"

Zhang Muzhi said lightly: "I'm different from you. I'm a martial artist. Master Lu once warned me that the ability of martial artists who follow the prince like me is second. The most important thing is to be obedient. Just listen to the prince. Yes, that's right."

Yu Qian hesitated to speak: "Then if the prince is also wrong..."

Zhang Muzhi said decisively: "The prince never makes mistakes."

Yu Qian was a little puzzled: "Why are you so sure?"

"Why do you think so many people are willing to follow him and give their lives to him?"

At this time, Yao Guangxiao suddenly said, "It's because we all believe that he will always make the right choice and he will never make mistakes."

"And we just have to trust him."

Yu Qian took a glance, but found that both Zhang Muzhi and Yao Guangxiao had indifferent and determined expressions in their eyes.

They believed in Zhu Gaoxuan so much that they were even willing to hand over their lives to each other.

This is Zhu Gaoyi's unique personality charm, which can bring courage to his followers and fear to his enemies.

As long as you have been by Zhu Gaoxuan's side for a long time, you can't help but feel awe of this person, and you are willing to follow him to fight together and write about the world together.

……

……

It is bright.

The heavy rain swept away the hot air, and the Yangzhou River was calm and calm, as if there had never been such a heavy rain last night.The green leaves of plantain sprouted after the rain, filling the bustling city in midsummer with freshness.

The old man in sackcloth got into the carriage and stayed up all night. There was a thick layer of dark circles under his eyes, and he was still full of tiredness.

He waved to the coachman and said, "Go back to Quzhou, the matter in Yangzhou is over."

The coachman drove the rope, drove the carriage, and drove forward along the green street. The left and right sides were covered with moss, leaving only two rows of wheel marks.

The old man in sackcloth sat in the carriage, opened the bead curtain, and took a last look at Yangzhou.

"This prince is really an ancient and strange person."

……

The heavy shackles were removed, and Kang Shike dragged his tired body forward step by step until he walked out of the dark and stinky prison. The dazzling sunlight shone on his body, and he couldn't help but use his sleeve to block the light after he hadn't seen the light for a long time. eyes.

"Congratulations to the magistrate for clearing his grievances and reinstatement!"

Outside the main gate of the prison, officials from all over Yangzhou had already been waiting in front of the gate, and they all stepped forward to send congratulations.

Looking around, the red silk was unfurling, and everyone was congratulating Kang Zhifu on his release from prison.

But the prefect of Kang was obviously not in the mood to care about these things, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Who gave the order to let me out?"

The Tongzhi of Yangzhou stepped forward and said: "Report to Fu Zun, it was His Highness the Crown Prince who thoroughly investigated this case, and finally found out, and returned Fu Zun's innocence. Not only did you pardon the several crimes you carried on your body, but also reinstated you as an official. Congratulations Fu Zun, thanks to the crown prince's favor, will surely rise steadily in the future, and his official career will be like a blue sky, but in the future, Fu Zun will be in a high position in the future, and he hopes to support us a little bit."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Prefect Kang replied perfunctorily, and asked with some doubts, "Where is Master?"

He looked in the crowd for a long time just now, but he couldn't find the master.According to the past, the master had already run over to offer him courtesies.

Yangzhou Tongzhi reminded in a low voice: "Dead."

"What did you say?!"

The magistrate Kang couldn't help raising his voice, his words trembled slightly, his pupils shrank slightly, and it seemed that he still had some difficulty accepting this reality, "Dead? Who killed him?"

"The crown prince issued an order last night to arrest the master and execute him secretly in the backyard of the mansion." Yangzhou Tong knew, "My lord, listen to the advice of the official, you'd better not inquire too much about this matter, and the official will not." I know very well, I only know that he was arrested by the forbidden army."

"A person captured by the imperial army."

The magistrate Kang was a little dazed, as if he hadn't come to his senses, and murmured, "The forbidden army arrests people, and the prince can send the forbidden army out. It seems that the involvement is really deep. It's okay, it's inconvenient to go into this matter."

He asked abruptly, "What happened to me during these days in prison?"

The Yangzhou Tongzhi thought for a while, and said: "Thinking about it, nothing major happened, but there were a lot of things last night. It rained heavily last night, and no one knew what happened. It's just that when the officials woke up, Fang felt that Yangzhou It has changed."

"Has the sky changed?"

The prefect of Kang wanted to grab the collar of the fellow magistrate of Yangzhou and slap his mouth a few times, "Why can't you just finish talking all at once if you have something to do?"

He doesn't know anything now, but he feels that he seems to have missed too many things when he was released from prison this time.

"Qifu Fuzun, just at dawn today, the official came to the yamen as usual, and saw seventeen bloody human heads neatly placed on the bluestone steps in front of the lobby. These seventeen human heads are exactly The heads of the heads of the seventeen families in Yangzhou."

"The lower official was frightened and panicked for a while, and inadvertently stepped back a few steps to the wall, trying to lean against the wall, but saw..."

Prefect Kang couldn't wait to ask, "But what did you see?"

"However, there was a gurgling sound coming from behind, and when I turned around, several carriages passed by in the Yamen, and the carriages were full of heads!"

"Seventeen families in Yangzhou were almost wiped out overnight!"

Boom!

If the prefect of Kang was struck by lightning, he was stunned.

Almost all of the seventeen families in Yangzhou were wiped out overnight.

What a murder!

What a bloody storm this will cause!
Although the prefect of Kang didn't know exactly what happened, but such a big disturbance in Yangzhou would inevitably cause a bloody storm, and I don't know how many more people would be killed by then.Now that thousands of people have been massacred, and it's just an appetizer, is it possible that the prince came to Yangzhou to repeat the shocking murders like the four major Hongwu cases?

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, he shouted loudly: "Where is the prince, take me to see the prince!"

Kang Shi is a smart man with a bright eye, and he is good at finding life in a desperate situation.

He now knows that Yangzhou is now staged such a bloody tragedy, and he has long been acquiesced to be the prince's dog. Now if he wants to survive, he can only hug the prince's thigh tightly.

……

……

Kang Shike was released from the prison just now, his body was full of stench, but he didn't have time to take a shower, so he just took off his prison uniform, changed into an official robe, wiped his face with a wet towel, put on a black gauze official hat and rolled Take the crawler to meet the prince.

When he arrived, the imperial guards in front of the door immediately put a knife on his neck, and said in a cold voice: "The prince has no visitors today, get out!"

Kang Shike didn't have time to think about it, he knelt and kowtowed outside the door, and shouted loudly: "Yangzhou Governor Kang Shike, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The imperial guards were furious, and immediately raised their blades to chop off the man's neck, and shouted: "I have already said that His Royal Highness will not see you today, since you want to die, I will fulfill you!"

Kang Shike prostrated himself on the ground, trembling with fright.

"Wait!"

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind the door, and the long knife in the hands of the imperial guards also hung in mid-air in response to the sound.

squeak--

The exquisitely carved pear-blossom wooden door was pushed open from the inside, and behind the door stood a young man in plain clothes, with his hands on the door, his expression was a little lazy, his hair was tied up with a white scarf, and there were silver streaks between the hair on the temples. Show vicissitudes.

Zhu Gaoyi stretched his waist, and teased: "Master Kang has just been released from the prison, why, why don't you go home and see your wife and children in a hurry?"

Kang Shike kowtowed and said: "Chen, please take the liberty to see His Highness the Crown Prince. It is a death penalty. Please punish the Crown Prince!"

"If you really wanted to die, why did you find Gu here?"

Zhu Gaoxuan said with a slight smile, "You came to see Gu because you want to find a way to survive?"

"His Royal Highness, Mingrui."

The magistrate Kang replied loudly, "I want to point out the maze to the crown prince, and point out the way for me to go in the future."

Zhu Gaoyi waved lazily: "Okay, come in."

He turned and went back to the house, and the magistrate Kang also got up and followed in directly, without looking at the murderous imperial guards outside the door.

He was indeed intimidated by the imperial guards who followed the prince at the beginning, but now he has no fear.

If you don't go in, you will die.

Go in, maybe there is still a way out.

……

……

Kang Shike walked into the room, but saw that no matter the pine bookshelf or the table, there were piles of booklets, and many of them had no place to put them, so they could only remain on the ground.

He asked with some doubts: "His Royal Highness, this is?"

Zhu Gaoyi glanced around and said casually: "The seventeen families in Yangzhou, all the criminal evidence in Yangzhou for decades. These are only the larger criminal evidence in my house. After all, there is no place to put them. There are more In the inner hall."

Kang Shike asked with some hesitation: "Prince, is this a bit too much? Kill first, then convict. This is Jin Yiwei's way of doing things. Is it too reckless to put it here?"

Now he is a little confused about the Crown Prince in front of him.

Judging from Zhu Gaoxuan's style of doing things when he came to Yangzhou at the beginning, the other party should be very clear that if he wants to settle the family in Yangzhou, he must show it to the world, and he should not use the unreasonable methods of Jin Yiwei.

Before that, although Zhu Gaoxuan had been passive, his coping methods were never out of line, and he was very cautious.But now the sudden fierceness, Kang Shi can't fix it.

In this way, wouldn't all previous efforts be for naught?
Killing the seventeen families in Yangzhou, at most, is to make Yangzhou peaceful for a while, what effect can it play?
Zhu Gaoyi said with a little deep meaning: "If I don't kill them, how can I let you out without these criminal evidences?"

"what?"

Kang Shike stood there alone, in a mess.

For him, killed seventeen families in Yangzhou?

What a charter!
How can he be!

"Haha, just kidding, how come the prefect of Kang takes it seriously?"

Hearing this, Kang Shike turned around and looked, Zhu Gaoyi had already sat on the grand master's chair at some point, swung his sleeves slightly, picked up the tea cup on the table, and took a sip to his lips.

"Who told you that Gu kills people first and collects evidence later?"

"Prefect Kang, does Gu look like an idiot?"

"You came to find Gu Qiu a way out, and Gu will point you out a way out now."

"Shh, don't talk."

"Put your ears up and listen carefully."
