My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 213 Unexpected clues

"No, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have searched everywhere during this time, but found nothing."

Zhu Zhanhe didn't hide anything from Zhu Zhanqi, and replied truthfully.

Hearing that his uncle was not arrested, Zhu Zhanqi seemed relieved, after all, the other party was his uncle no matter what.

"By the way, you haven't had any contact with Wang Qia during this time, have you?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked again worriedly.

"No, I have been staying in the palace all this time and have never gone out."

Zhu Zhanqi immediately shook his head. During this period of time, he started to practice martial arts and literature, and he never left the palace.

"It's fine if you don't have one. Wang Qia and his gang are simply crazy. They intend to blow up the imperial tomb and assassinate the imperial grandfather when he is going to worship at the Xiaoling Mausoleum."

Zhu Zhanhe solemnly warned.

"What! He...they are so bold!"

Zhu Zhanqi was also taken aback when he heard that, it was the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu, and Zhu Di was going to be assassinated. This was simply digging the foundation of Ming Dynasty, and it might even destroy the entire Ming Dynasty.

"That's why I said that they are lunatics. The person who secretly planned this matter is Zhu Yuexiu, the son of the King of Shu in name, but in fact he was adopted by the King of Shu, and his real identity is Zhu Wenkui, the missing son of Emperor Jianwen... ..."

In order to let Zhu Zhanqi understand the seriousness of the matter, Zhu Zhanhe immediately told the matter about Zhu Wenkui.

Zhu Zhanqi was also sweating profusely after hearing this. His uncle actually worked with a lunatic like Zhu Wenkui who didn't recognize his relatives. I'm afraid it would never end well in the future.

"Zhan Qi, I know you are a person who cares about your family, but when it comes to your uncle, you must draw a clear line with him, otherwise you will only be implicated in the future!"

Finally, Zhu Zhanhe once again solemnly warned.

"I understand, brother, don't worry, I will stay in the palace to practice martial arts and literature during this time, I will not go anywhere, let alone meet anyone!"

Zhu Zhanqi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a pale face, it seemed that he was really frightened.

"That's good, but you don't have to worry too much, you are my younger brother, and with me around, no one can touch you!"

Zhu Zhanhe patted Zhu Zhanqi on the shoulder and comforted him.

Feeling his elder brother's love for him, Zhu Zhanqi also had red eyes. Ever since his mother died, he had always dreamed of having someone who could protect him, and now this person finally appeared.

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhanhe did not go to Dongchang. During this time, he was busy tracking down Zhu Wenkui's whereabouts every day, but he still found nothing, which made him a little frustrated.

So Zhu Zhanhe turned to Tianjie Temple, intending to chat with Yao Guangxiao, maybe the other party can give him some advice.

The bamboo forest on the mountainside of Tianjie Temple is full of bamboo trees. The cool mountain wind blows through, causing the bamboo leaves to rustle. Occasionally, there are a few birdsong, which makes the bamboo forest look very peaceful. It seems that no matter how noisy the outside world is, everyone Nothing to do here.

Zhu Zhanhe stepped into the bamboo forest, feeling his impetuous heart slowly calm down.

Entering the Buddhist hall, Yao Guangxiao who was chanting sutras opened his eyes, and when he saw Zhu Zhanhe, he also smiled slightly and said, "My son, why do you have time to come to my place?"

Since handing over Cao Lei and others under his command to Zhu Zhanhe as Dongchang's team, Yao Guangxiao has become even more detached from the outside world, and many court affairs have also been handed over to Zhu Di.

In fact, this is quite normal. After all, Yao Guangxiao is too old. He is already in his early 80s this year. He is not Jiang Ziya. He can pay his respects at the age of [-]. At his age, he should be able to retire with peace of mind.

"I'm upset, so I came to talk to you, Young Master."

Zhu Zhanhe was also polite, and sat down directly at the coffee table next to him, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down.

"Because of Xiaoling?"

Yao Guangxiao put down the scripture in his hand and asked with a smile.

Although he doesn't ask about government affairs, he is not ignorant of the outside world, especially the big things that happened in Xiaoling, he can't help but want to know.

"Yeah, Zhu Wenkui and his gang are like rats. Dongchang and Jinyiwei have searched the capital, but they haven't found any clues yet. I wonder if he really escaped from the capital. "

Zhu Zhanhe said helplessly, spreading his hands.

Facing Yao Guangxiao, he had nothing to hide, and he was very relaxed, which was the main reason why he liked to chat with Yao Guangxiao.

"Zhu Yuexiu is Zhu Wenkui. When I first heard about it, I was also taken aback. I didn't expect that the son of Emperor Jianwen would become the adopted son of the King of Shu. This is extremely bizarre!"

Yao Guangxiao raised his eyebrows when he spoke. He has lived for so many years, and he is rarely surprised by things.

"What's even more bizarre is that such a benevolent man as the King of Shu actually raised a white-eyed wolf like Zhu Wenkui. In order to assassinate the emperor's grandfather, he even did not hesitate to let the King of Shu be buried with him. It is simply inhumane!"

When Zhu Wenkui was mentioned, Zhu Zhanhe also gritted his teeth with hatred. It was in vain that he still regarded the other party as a friend, but he didn't expect that it was all the other party's disguise.

"My son, Zhu Wenkui and others are acting so secretly, how did you find out that they were going to attack Xiaoling?"

Yao Guangxiao suddenly asked again.

Although he knew about Xiaoling and Zhu Wenkui's identity, he didn't know how Zhu Zhanhe discovered the conspiracy.

"This is also thanks to my younger brother Zhan Qi, who has an uncle named Wang Qia..."

Zhu Zhanhe explained the cause of the incident and the whole process in detail, hoping that with the help of Yao Guangxiao's wisdom, he could find some clues that he might have overlooked.

After Yao Guangxiao finished listening, he closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes again and asked: "The Banshan Temple you mentioned is located on the middle of Zhongshan Mountain in the east of the city, and it is next to the imperial city? "

"Yes, young master, have you been there?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked in surprise.

Just now he heard that he went to Banshan Temple to look for Wang Qia's whereabouts, and accidentally found traces of gunpowder, but he didn't say the exact location of Banshan Temple.

"Banshan Temple, I haven't heard anyone mention this name for a long time."

I saw Yao Guangxiao muttering to himself with emotion, then he squinted his eyes and looked out the window. He seemed to be in a daze, as if he was thinking about something?
Zhu Zhanhe was curious and wanted to ask again, but he was afraid of disturbing Yao Guangxiao's thoughts, so he could only wait patiently.

After a while, Yao Guangxiao came back to his senses.

He glanced at Zhu Zhanhe, seemingly hesitant, but finally said: "This place in Banshan Temple reminds me of a person, maybe he can provide you with some clues."

Zhu Zhanhe also showed ecstasy when he heard the words. He didn't expect that Yao Guangxiao would have such an unexpected harvest.

"Really? Where is this man?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked eagerly.

"Prison!"

Yao Guangxiao replied very simply.
