Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 366 I understand, the teacher is timid!

"This person is an imperial prisoner of Prince Yan's Mansion. If anyone wants to defend this person, you can come to Prince Yan's Mansion!"

The leader, Yan Shanwei, shouted to everyone in the restaurant. Naturally, there was no one seeking death in the entire restaurant.

Then he asked again: "Who is traveling with this person?"

Qu Lifu's face lit up, and he quickly stood up and said, "This general is the villain, and he was the first person the villain discovered!"

"Follow me and return to the palace!"

"Yes, General!"

Under the envious eyes of everyone, Qu Lifu followed the Yanshan Guards to Prince Yan's Mansion with a happy face.

As for Jia Zhengju, his face was as pale as if he were mourning for his heir!

In the restaurant, all the gentry and merchants sighed helplessly.

Immediately, everyone grinned and walked towards the unfamiliar-looking merchants in the restaurant with friendly faces.

"This member is so kind, can we have a drink together?"

"This treasurer..."

"This brother..."

On this day, all the foreign merchants in Beiping City were warmly entertained by the local gentry and merchants in Beiping City.

The same is true for the second day.

This made all the merchants from outside start to panic.

On the third day...

A message came down from Prince Yan's Mansion.

Don't worry too much, it's just such an unlucky guy!
In this way, all the foreign merchants in Beiping City returned to normal life.

……

In Yanwang Palace.

Zhu Di said coldly: "I didn't expect that it was Huang Zicheng, the companion of the East Palace, who did such a shameful thing!"

Guo An nodded slightly and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that Huang Zicheng only sent one merchant here."

Zhu Di asked expectantly: "Guo Qing, now that we have caught this thief, we also want to ask the person behind the scenes, what should we do now?"

"This……"

Guo An looked helpless.

Huang Zicheng's careful behavior also gave him Guo An a problem.

"Your Highness, there is someone with a sword outside the palace who wants to see you!"

At this time, Liang Hu walked in quickly from outside the palace and reported to Zhu Di.

"Bringing a knife to someone else?"

Both Zhu Di and Guo An were stunned. The sword-wielding guard, also known as the sword-wielding guard, was also the vanguard of the government army. He was responsible for Zhu Yuanzhang's close bodyguards and was only loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The inner guard led by Erhu is this imperial guard.

And these people will not leave the palace easily.

Why are you here in Beiping Mansion now?
Zhu Di asked hurriedly: "How many people are here?"

Liang Hu replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, there are more than fifty people!"

Zhu Di said: "Bring them in quickly!"

"Here!"

Liang Hu responded and retreated.

Soon, a group of soldiers, holding steel knives in hand, quickly walked in from outside the palace.

"At the end of the day, the avant-garde of the general's army came to see His Highness King Yan at Xuguan!"

A school captain saluted Zhu Di respectfully.

"The government army's avant-garde Baihu Xuguan?"

Zhu Di's expression condensed, he stood up, stared at Xu Guan closely, and asked eagerly: "But my father has a will for us?"

Xu Guandao: "The Holy One has no decree for His Highness King Yan. The general is here to chase a thief all the way!"

"A thief?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, "Who is this thief that you servants are actually chasing after in person?"

A strange color flashed in Xu Guan's eyes, "To report to His Highness King Yan, the thief is the merchant who was just captured by the soldiers of His Highness King Yan!"

Zhu Di was even more surprised, "Why are you chasing this thief?"

Hearing this, a stern look flashed in Xu Guan's eyes, and he said: "Your Highness, this person does not know how he learned about the silver tribute paid by His Highness King Yan to Your Majesty, and dared to publicize it in the capital, causing an uproar in the court.

His Majesty was furious and asked the general and others to come to interrogate him. How did he learn about this person? "

"I see!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "This person has already been confessed. You can bring this person back and hand him over to your father!"

"Has this thief confessed?"

Xu Guan's face lit up and he quickly asked: "May I ask, Your Highness, who informed about this thief?"

"Ugh!"

Zhu Di sighed helplessly and said, "You can interrogate it yourself. We can't believe it was him who told the truth!"

"he?"

Looking at Zhu Di's expression, a hint of something bad flashed through Xu's concern.

Zhu Di said: "Huang Zicheng!"

"Huang Zicheng?"

Xu Guan's eyes widened immediately. Huang Zicheng was naturally the only one from the imperial palace who could make Yan King Zhu Di look like this.

He couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart, wishing to give him a slap in the face. Since His Highness King Yan was no longer willing to speak, why did he ask again?
"Okay, only my father can solve this matter. Go and pick this person up quickly and bring him back to the capital."

Zhu Di waved his hand directly, not wanting to say another word to Xu Guan.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Guan clasped his fists in salute and walked out.

Zhu Di suddenly shouted again: "This person is involved in that person, you must protect this person's safety!"

Xu Guan couldn't help but froze, turned his head helplessly, and bowed his hands slightly to Zhu Di again.

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. The general will definitely take a good look at this person!"

"go Go……"

Looking at Xu Guan's retreating figure, Zhu Di smiled lightly.

On the side, Guo An also looked happy.

"Your Majesty God, it couldn't be better to have these inner guards take over!"

"Hahaha, it's all thanks to Guo Qing's clever plan!"

Zhu Di looked directly at Guo An with a smile, full of praise.

Guo An looked helpless and said: "Your Highness Mingjian, I just want your Highness to be filial. Who would have thought that this would happen? Things are so unpredictable!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "How could your eldest brother be so talented, how could he give birth to such a rat..." Guo An was shocked and said quickly: "Your Highness, be careful what you say!"

Zhu Di looked disdainful, "Humph, you can do such a dirty thing, why don't you let us talk about it?"

Guo An: "..."

On the side, Zhu Gaochi’s eyes gradually widened!

"Dad, teacher, I understand!"

Both Zhu Di and Guo An couldn't help but be startled, especially Guo An, whose face was full of surprise and doubt, "Your Majesty, what do you want to understand?"

Zhu Gaochi looked at Guo An with a strange face and said, "I want to understand. Since the teacher became the right chief historian of Prince Yan's Palace, what is the ultimate goal of all the initiatives and plans in Prince Yan's Palace?"

Zhu Di asked Zhu Gaochi with great interest: "Tell me, kid, why did Guo Qing do what he did?"

Zhu Gaochi thought about it, glanced at Guo An and Zhu Di, and then said slowly: "Teacher wants to help dad win that..."

"All right!"

Guo An's expression changed drastically and he directly interrupted Zhu Gaochi, "Your Majesty, you guessed wrong!"

"what?"

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but be a little confused.

Guo An said with a stern face: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. I just don't want to betray His Highness King Yan's trust, so I will fulfill my responsibility as the Right Chief of the Yan Palace, assist His Highness in running the Beiping Mansion, and by the way, make more money for the King of Yan. "

Zhu Di helped with a smile and said: "What Guo Qing said is absolutely true, Chi'er, you kid is just making random guesses. That position belongs to your grandpa, and the grandson has already been appointed.

I, the vassal king, are only responsible for sitting in all directions and protecting my Zhu family until the Ming Dynasty! "

Zhu Gaochi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Dad! The teacher is timid, I understand!"

Zhu Di: "Haha!"

Guo An: "..."

……

Afterwards, Zhu Di ordered to go down and reward the lucky man Qu Lifu.

The reward is 100 taels of silver and one hundred guan of banknotes.

And, register the charity book.

Qu Lifu, the most ordinary businessman in Beiping Prefecture, rose to the top in one step.

For half a month, the house was bustling with people.

And on the other side.

After Xu Guan took away the unlucky Jia Zhengju from Prince Yan's Mansion.

In order to fear that Jia Zhengju would freeze to death or something unexpected would happen.

We boarded an official ship directly and traveled on a starry night.

In the early morning of the third day, he had already rushed back to the capital.

"Have you brought that merchant back?"

Upon hearing Xu Guan's report, a strange look flashed subconsciously in Erhu's eyes.

Xu Guan cupped his hands and replied: "Come back to the commander-in-chief, the merchant is safe and sound and is waiting outside the palace gate at the moment!"

Erhu nodded slightly, "You stay here for now, and we will report to His Majesty right away!"

"The last will obey!"

Xu Guan responded quickly with excitement on his face.

Erhu, on the other hand, had already walked into Fengtian Hall with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, the government army's advance guard Baihu Xuguan has captured the merchant who was spreading rumors in the capital!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a stern look, "But what happened to bring Xu Guanlian back?"

Erhu said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I was in a hurry to report to Your Majesty and did not cross-examine carefully!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Erhu with turbid eyes, and said softly: "Then let the hundreds of households come in and report to us personally, and also bring the merchants and thieves to the main hall."

In an instant, Erhu felt a chill in his heart, the hairs on his body stood up, and he quickly bowed his hands in salute.

"The minister obeys the order."

Soon, Xu Guan walked in from outside the palace with excitement on his face.

"The avant-garde of the government army, Baihu Xuguan, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xu Guan quickly stood up and stood before His Highness with his head bowed respectfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly: "Tell us about the merchant and the traitor!"

"The end will follow the order!"

Xu Guan's eyes were full of excitement. As for the threat from the East Palace, he had forgotten it since he stepped into this hall.

"After receiving His Majesty's order, I quickly led my people to chase the Beiping Mansion... I finally found out the location of the merchant and the traitor. When I finally led my people to rush over, the Yanshan Guards under the command of His Highness King Yan rushed to the front. Take one step...

...His Royal Highness King Yan learned about Wei Chen's purpose, and happily informed Wei Chen that the merchant and traitor had already confessed, and the person behind it was Huang Zicheng, the companion of the East Palace...

This matter is of great importance, and I dare not show any slightest care, so I will hurry up on the starry night..."

"Huang Zicheng?"

As soon as this name came out, Erhu couldn't help but feel shocked.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang above him froze, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, wondering what he was thinking.

Xu Guan reported again: "Your Majesty clearly knows that everything the minister said is true!"

"We know! If you have made great achievements this time, each of you will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly: "This matter must be kept confidential."

Xu Guan's face suddenly filled with excitement, "Thank you for your majesty's grace, I will strictly guard this matter!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and looked outside the hall.

And this time.

Two internal guards, carrying a frightened merchant, walked in slowly.

"Pfft!"

When he reached the front of the palace, the two inner guards threw him away, and Jia Zhengju fell limply to the ground.

"Your Majesty, the thief has been brought!"

Jia Zhengju trembled and kowtowed repeatedly: "Jia Zhengju, the little man, kowtows to Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"Humph!"

Above, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of disgust.

"You are the one who casually spread the word about the silver tribute given to us by King Yan in the capital?"

"Your Majesty, please spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life, I have no choice but to do so! I didn't know this at the time, but I actually attracted, attracted Your Majesty..."
