Chapter 189: The Big Case!

It was Hu Wei, the slave of the Hu family who came, leading an anxious young man, Zhu Yu, the concubine son of Zhu Liangzu, Marquis of Yongjia.

"Hu Xiang! The old lady at home sent me down to report that my father is far away in Beiping, and my brother is not in the mansion for some reason. Now that there is a sudden military disaster, the emptiness of the mansion really does not know how to resist it."

"I beg you, please write a note and come forward to save me!" Zhu Yu said while kneeling outside the study.

"Surrounded by who?" Hu Weiyong pushed away from the study room, but his face showed doubts.

"If there is any movement in the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Procuratorate, we will definitely report it to the truth as soon as possible. Apart from these three justices, who else dares to rashly surround the mansion of the dignified prince?"

"I...I don't know. Those people are all wearing flying fish suits, with embroidered spring knives on their waists. They look like wolves and tigers, but they have no fear at all." Zhu Yu's face was full of panic, as if he had lingering fear.

"The old lady came forward to scold her, but they even detained the old lady. They said that they were ordered to arrest the lawless, and then they dug three feet in the mansion..."

"On orders? Unlawful arrest?" Hu Weiyong's frown deepened. "The only ones who have the right to arrest lawbreakers are the three justices. When did Beijing and China have such a group of people?"

"Flying Fish Clothes, Xiuchun Knife...Could it be Jinyiwei?"

Hu Weiyong's eyes widened.

No wonder he was surprised.Jin Yiwei's predecessor, the Gongwei Division, was responsible for guarding the emperor's side, but it was just a palace guard.Later, it was renamed Jinyiwei, and everyone in the court thought it was just Lao Zhu's eccentricity in naming names, so they changed the name of their imperial guards for fun.

After all, Lao Zhu likes to take names, which is almost a well-known thing in Daming.

The names of the descendants of the Zhu family were all drawn up by him for dozens of generations in advance, which is enough for nearly a thousand years.It's just changing the guard's name, what's the matter?
But no one has ever noticed that Jin Yiwei didn't just change his name.

Instead, even the entire structure of the system has been changed.

"Enxiang!" Tu Cheng beside him instinctively felt that something was wrong.It should be known that according to the system, the imperial court's laws and regulations should all be in the hands of the "three legal divisions" of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Procuratorate.

After the incident of Ru Taisu, the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang let Wu Wangyi party go, and seemed to intend to let it grow stronger.Due to his debts, the prince restricted his subordinates from intervening in the affairs of King Wu's party.Hu Weiyong used the name of King Wu Zhu Su to gradually extend his hand to the Sanfa Division. Now nearly half of the officials in the Sanfa Division have come from his leftist Hu Weiyong.

It is precisely because of the control of the three courts and the judiciary of the three courts that Hu Weiyong has no fear, thinking that he can already have power in the government and no one can control it.

But at this time, a Jin Yiwei who can "order to arrest the lawless" suddenly appeared?
Being able to act suddenly and so quietly beforehand, the Jin Yiwei must not have been ordered temporarily, otherwise, at this time, he should be in a hurry and full of loopholes.It is impossible to wait for someone from the Marquis of Yongjia to ask for help before he learned the information.

This Jinyiwei must have been prepared for a long time.

So, who is His Majesty most likely preparing this organization for secretly developing this organization?Who is it going to use against?

Hu Weiyong was already sweating coldly.

"Tu Cheng, go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate quickly and find out what the Yongjiahou's mansion did wrong. They actually asked His Majesty's relatives to arrest him personally."

"Hu Wei, take my note and go to the Marquis of Yongjia to see if you can delay those Jinyiwei one or two."

"Don't go!" said a voice from outside.Immediately afterwards, a pale figure hurried in with his hem lifted. It was Hu Weiyong's other buddy, Chen Ning, who was then the official censor.

"Hu Xiang! Your Majesty has asked the Jinyiwei to summon the Sanfasi into the palace. It is called an invitation, but it is actually an escort!"

"Those wolves and tigers of Jin Yiwei are under strict supervision, and it's really hard to get a chance to report!"

"At that time, I happened to be in the hut in a hurry, so I had the opportunity to get news from outside the city, and I hurried to repay my kindness."

"What a disaster, what a disaster!" As he spoke, Chen Ning beat his chest and stamped his feet.

"It's so." Only then did Hu Weiyong realize why he hadn't received any news. "Tell me, what happened?"

"In the early hours of this morning, His Royal Highness the Fifth King of Wu was assassinated by Yongjia Hou Shizi Zhu Xian at Qixiadu."

"The king of Wu was in a hurry and stabbed Yongjia Hou Shizi to death with his backhand!"

"Right now, the Marquis of Yongjia has already been surrounded by Jinyi Guards!"

"Wh...what!"

Hu Weiyong was still able to maintain a stable appearance as a prime minister just now, but after hearing Chen Ning's words, his short body swayed and almost fell to the ground.

That Zhu Yu from the Yongjia Marquis Mansion even passed out directly.

No one paid any attention to a concubine with a low status, but facing the tottering Hu Weiyong, Tu Cheng beside him even forgot to reach out to help him.

Hu Weiyong, who almost fell to the ground, had no choice but to stabilize his figure. As soon as he stood still, he hurriedly grabbed Chen Ning's shoulders and shook them desperately. "How is it possible? The Marquis of Yongjia is young and mature, how could he do such a thing of assassinating the king?"

"That's how the person who came to report the letter spread it!" Chen Ning was hurt by Hu Weiyong's arrest, but he didn't dare to avoid it. "It is said that Yongjia Hou Shizi coveted King Wu's cement business, and the Koreans couldn't win it, so he became angry from embarrassment..."

"Nonsense!" Before Hu Weiyong could respond, Tu Chengcheng over there had already yelled loudly. "Zhu Xian is not a fool. He collaborated with the Korean assassin to kill the king for mere business? Who would believe it?"

"But Yongjia Hou Shizi is definitely dead!" Chen Ning said. "Otherwise, why did His Majesty act preemptively and send someone to copy the Marquis of Yongjia?"

"..." Hu Weiyong was stunned for a while, then Fang punched the pillar angrily.

"Shuzi! It's a big deal for me!"

He just felt irritated.Zhu Su's falling out with the honorable Marquis of Yongjia will inevitably lead to the alienation of those nobles who are attached to him and Zhu Su's subordinates.The military power in Hu Weiyong's hands naturally has to be greatly discounted.

He never imagined that Zhu Su would destroy the Great Wall himself and break up with the Yongjiahou Mansion directly!

"... Enxiang, this is the time for a strong man to let go of his arms. You should give up King Wu and preserve your noble heart!" Chen Ning persuaded.

"You're right." Hu Weiyong settled down.

The incident happened suddenly, and I couldn't help but lose my sense of proportion.Chen Ning's words made him clear his mind again.

"This matter is not small, but it is not big." He took a deep breath and tried to show a smile that he was in control of.It's just that the face is so forced no matter how you look at it.

"We are already full of wings. It doesn't matter if we have this King Wu. The important thing is to preserve the military power so that we can stand against Xu Da and other generals in the army."

"It's okay, as long as the truth remains true, sooner or later your Yongjiahou Mansion will rise again."

"Thank you, Mr. Hu!" Zhu Yu bowed his head.

Hu Weiyong slowed down.That's right, most of the six ministries in the three provinces are under control now. Although Jin Yiwei was surprised, but now that something happened suddenly, His Majesty asked him to search Yongjiahou's mansion.It is also easy to keep the Yongjia Hou Mansion, just attack Wu Wang Zhu Su.His excuse for killing Zhu Xian is full of loopholes, even if His Majesty intends to protect his parents and children, he can't risk the disgrace of the world.

The prince of the Tian family kills the honored son without permission, which will inevitably make those nobles with heavy soldiers in their hands panic.

And protecting him by himself can also make Yongjia Hou Mansion and other nobles who are alienated from Zhu's family feel closer to him, Hu Weiyong.

"The Jinyiwei should be a hidden chess piece left by His Majesty."

"His Highness the Fifth Highness has acted recklessly, and it may be a good thing for His Majesty to expose this hidden chess piece earlier."

"If Jin Yiwei's sharp knife is out of its sheath, it will cut at me, it's not easy to guard against."

"Let the Marquis of Yongjia take this knife now, and I will be prepared in the future. With preparation, I will naturally be able to guard against it."

"Unless, this sharp knife can find some reason today to chop off me, Hu Weiyong."

"Heh, but how is this possible, unless the prophet on the dragon chair has planted spies to take precautions when I was still obedient..."

I was secretly rejoicing in my heart, but unexpectedly another house slave ran in from outside, running again and again, shouting loudly at the same time:
"Master! Master! It's not good!"

"There is a group of people outside who say they are handling the case by order, and the leader claims to be the commander of Jinyiwei."

"Bring a group of soldiers and surround our prime minister's mansion!"
