My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 121 Arresting Ji Gang

Zhu Gaosui admitted to colluding with Ji Gang, but regarding the matter of poisoning Zhu Gaoxu, no matter how Zhu Di asked him, he just bit him to death and refused to admit it, and judging by his expression, it didn't seem like he was lying.

Finally Zhu Zhanhe finally took the opportunity to ask: "Third Uncle, the poisoning of my father really has nothing to do with you?"

"Of course it's irrelevant. To be honest, Ji Gang told me about the second brother's poisoning after the fact!"

Zhu Gaosui saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he broke out a big story again.

"How did Ji Gang tell you, what are you two plotting afterward?"

Zhu Zhanhe frowned and asked again, he felt as if he had fallen into someone else's trap again.

"I……"

Facing his nephew's questioning, Zhu Gaosui didn't want to say anything, and even secretly glanced at Zhu Di.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di slapped the table angrily and said, "Answer Zhan He's words!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Gaosui's whole body trembled with fright, and he replied immediately.

"The news about the poisoning of the second brother was blocked, and I didn't know it beforehand, but Tian Jigang came to me and told me about the poisoning of the second brother, and he... he also said..."

At the end of Zhu Gaosui's speech, he suddenly became hesitant, as if he didn't dare to continue.

"What did he say?"

Zhu Di slapped the table again and asked.

"He said... the second brother's poisoning was probably caused by the eldest brother!"

Zhu Gaosui finally told the truth.

"What a Ji Gang!"

Zhu Di gritted his teeth angrily when he heard the words, he really underestimated Ji Gang, he never thought that he would dare to sow discord between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui.

"And then, what are you and Ji Gang planning, Uncle San?"

Zhu Zhanhe was unmoved, and asked again.

"Later, Ji Gang told me that the second brother was devastated after being hit by this blow, and decided to withdraw from the competition for the crown prince. In this way, the eldest brother's opponent is only me, and Ji Gang is willing to support me in the fight for the crown prince, so... ..."

"You bastard, just because you want to compete with your elder brother for the crown prince?"

Zhu Di couldn't take it anymore when he heard this, and pointed at Zhu Gaosui and roared angrily.

Facing his father's insults, Zhu Gaosui trembled with fright at first, but then he suddenly raised his head and cried out with tears in his eyes: "Father, I know that I am not as good as my elder brother in writing, and my martial arts is not as good as my second brother, but don't forget Well, I'm your son too, the eldest brother and the second brother can compete for that seat, why can't I?"

At the end of Zhu Gaosui's speech, he clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and his voice became very high-pitched, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances he had suffered for so many years.

Zhu Di and Empress Xu only have their three sons. Zhu Gaochi was raised as an eldest son since childhood, while Zhu Gaoxu was a man of great courage. He had two such outstanding elder brothers, which suddenly made Zhu Gaosui very inconspicuous, and even Zhu Di usually treated him somewhat neglected.

Zhu Gaosui was very wronged, they were all born by a mother, why should the eldest and second child have a chance, and as the third child, he can only pick up what others left?
So Zhu Gaosui is not reconciled, as long as he can get that seat for himself, no matter how dirty the means are, even if he will bear endless infamy in the future, he doesn't care!
Faced with his son's questioning, Zhu Di was speechless and didn't know how to answer?

Zhu Zhanhe next to him also sighed secretly at this time, in fact, not only Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Gaoxu probably had the same idea before, and Zhu Gaoxu was more wronged than Zhu Gaosui, because he not only made great military exploits, but also was promised by Zhu Di himself, In the end, nothing was caught.

"Grandfather, if what Third Uncle said is true, then we and Third Uncle may have fallen into someone else's trap!"

Zhu Zhanhe stepped forward to remind him.

"It's Ji Gang again!"

Zhu Di immediately came to his senses when he heard the words, and said with gritted teeth.

"What trap?"

Zhu Gaosui asked without knowing why.

"Third Uncle, you don't know that Ji Gang was probably involved in the poisoning of my father. We have been investigating him, but we didn't expect him to find you afterwards and lead all the suspicions to you!"

Zhu Zhanhe patiently explained.

"So that's the case, no wonder he took the initiative to seek refuge with me!"

Zhu Gaosui also slapped his thigh in regret when he heard the words. He didn't regret colluding with Ji Gang, but regretted that he didn't see Ji Gang's intentions.

"I can't wait any longer, Zhan He, you immediately lead someone to arrest Ji Gang!"

Zhu Di immediately ordered Zhu Zhanhe.

Regardless of whether what Zhu Gaosui said is true or not, this matter has an inseparable relationship with Ji Gang, and Zhu Gaosui has been exposed. If Ji Gang gets the news, he might be caught dead, so it is better to arrest him and bring him to justice as soon as possible.

Zhu Zhanhe also knew that the matter was urgent, so he agreed to leave quickly.

Zhu Zhanhe returned to Dongchang, immediately summoned Cao Lei and others, and then rushed to Beizhen Fusi.

If you wanted to arrest Ji Gang before the Dongchang was established, you would have to worry about Jinyiwei's reaction, but now that Dongchang has infiltrated Jinyiwei, and there are traitors like Liu Mian, Ji Gang's power has been greatly weakened.

Even some of Ji Gang's confidantes began to contact Dongchang secretly, so arresting Ji Gang now is simply as easy as pie.

Zhu Zhanhe brought Dongchang's fanzi to Beizhen Fusi aggressively, and Liu Mian was the first to run out to meet him.

"Is Ji Gang there?"

Seeing Liu Mian, Zhu Zhanhe immediately asked.

"It was still there just now, but half an hour ago, he seemed to have encountered something and went out in a hurry."

Liu Mian replied immediately.

"Oops!"

Zhu Zhanhe secretly cried out, because half an hour ago, when Zhu Gaosui was called into the palace, Ji Gang probably received some news?
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe immediately ordered Liu Mian: "Immediately send people throughout the city to search for Ji Gang, and we must catch him alive!"

"Catch Ji Gang? Why?"

Liu Mian was taken aback. The news was too sudden. Although Ji Gang was about to lose power, he was still in charge of Jinyiwei after all. If the news of his arrest spread, it would definitely cause an earthquake inside Jinyiwei.

"The emperor's will, Liu Tongzhi, do you really want to know the reason?"

At the end of Zhu Zhanhe's speech, he cast a glance at Liu Mian.

"The lower official made a slip of the tongue!"

Liu Mian was taken aback, and immediately admitted his mistake.

If His Majesty wants to arrest Ji Gang, there must be a reason why he must arrest him. He violated Jin Yiwei's taboo by making random inquiries. After all, for them, there are too many things that are inconvenient for outsiders to know.

"Forget it, Liu Tongzhi, you immediately take someone to arrest Ji Gang. I will sit in Jinyiwei and control Ji Gang's followers, so as not to cause other troubles!"

Zhu Zhanhe waved his hands and said.

Since Ji Gang was to be arrested, Ji Gang's followers would naturally be cut off as well.

"Subordinate to obey!"

Liu Mian agreed, and immediately mobilized all men to arrest Ji Gang.
