My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 45

Shocking case.

Zhu Zhanfu was stabbed and injured, Zhu Zhanhe was also at the scene, and Zhu Zhanji was also not far away. If any accident happened to the three of them, it would definitely shake the country of Daming.

In a case like this, not to mention the county and government offices, even the Dali Temple is not qualified to intervene, and the only one who is qualified is Jin Yiwei.

Therefore, after Zhu Zhanji ordered the closure of Qiuxing Garden, Jin Yiwei soon rushed to take over, and then the three brothers were quickly called into the palace.

In the Hall of Martial Heroes, Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair with a sullen face, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing.

The injured Zhu Zhanfu was lying on a soft couch, with Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe standing beside him.

In addition, the three brothers Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui all rushed to the scene. It was rare for the three brothers to stand on the same front.

"Father, the assassin is obviously targeting Zhanxi this time, please make the decision for him!"

Zhu Gaosui looked at his injured son and begged Zhu Di loudly with tears in his eyes.

"Zhanxi, tell me what happened in detail!"

Zhu Di ignored Zhu Gaosui, but asked Zhu Zhanfu who was on the soft couch.

"Yes!"

Zhu Zhanyi agreed, first glanced at Zhu Zhanhe, and then spoke.

"The Qiuxing Contest started, and my second brother and I were not interested in weaving, so we just walked around in the garden and happened to pass by the small lake. I saw the scenery on the lake was beautiful, so I walked up the promenade, and the assassin suddenly jumped out of the water ..."

Zhu Zhandi was clever and concealed the fact that he encouraged Zhu Zhanhe to molest Sun Xiaogong.

Zhu Zhanhe next to him glanced at him, but didn't bother to expose him.

In the end, Zhu Zhanyu talked about being hacked by an assassin, but fortunately he was rescued by Zhu Zhanhe's guards.

"Zhan He, do you have anything to add?"

Zhu Di pondered for a moment after listening, and then asked Zhu Zhanhe.

"Grandpa Emperor, the matter is just as the third brother said. Afterwards, I saw that he was injured, and I personally inspected his injuries. Fortunately, he was not poisoned."

Zhu Zhanhe replied immediately.

"What do Jin Yiwei do? Didn't they know that someone was going to assassinate the royal family some time ago? How could this happen?"

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily at this moment.

"That's right, that bastard Ji Gang, if there is something wrong with Zhanfu, I'll kill him!"

When Zhu Gaosui heard what his second brother said, he immediately found a target to vent his anger on.

"Jin Yiwei has become more and more slack lately, and he can't even catch a few small rebels!"

Zhu Gaochi also echoed at this time.

It can be seen that the three brothers don't seem to like Jin Yiwei very much.

"Okay, Ji Gang has already gone to investigate the case himself, and there will be news soon."

Zhu Di interrupted the quarrel of the three sons, but he also felt that Jin Yiwei had a lot of responsibility for this incident.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a thin body and a long face and short beard quickly entered the hall, and saluted with a look of fear: "Chen Ji Gang is ineffective, please forgive me!"

"We'll talk about the crime later. What have you found?"

Zhu Di snorted and asked directly.

"The Qiuxing Garden was built by Xu Yingxu, the governor of the Chinese army. At that time, the Qiuxing Competition was being held. The garden was either rich or expensive, so the defenses were extremely tight. It stands to reason that it should be impossible for assassins to sneak in..."

"What kind of nonsense is this? Now that assassins have appeared, and my son was almost beheaded, what are you Jinyiwei doing?"

Before Ji Gang finished speaking, Zhu Gaosui jumped out and pointed at him and cursed.

"King Zhao, calm down. My people searched Qiuxing Garden inside and out, and found that the lake where the assassin was lurking had a waterway connecting it to the river outside. The waterway was originally separated by an iron fence, but now the iron fence has been blocked. People saw off..."

"You mean to say that the assassin sneaked into the garden through the waterway to assassinate?"

Zhu Di interrupted Ji Gang and asked.

"Exactly, and I feel that the assassin's target may not necessarily be Prince Zhao."

As Ji Gang spoke, he glanced at Zhu Gaosui and his son.

"What do you mean, my son is injured like this, the assassin's target is not him?"

Zhu Gaosui jumped angrily again.

"Third Uncle, I think what Commander Ji said makes sense. Third Brother and I walked around the garden at random. No one knew in advance that we would go to the promenade on the lake. How could the assassin lie in ambush there in advance?"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly interrupted.

In fact, he has always wondered about this question. How could the assassin know where he and Zhu Zhanfu would go?

"What the prince said is very true. The assassin's target is probably not a certain person, but any one of the grandson and the two princes. He should have seen the three of you in advance, or seen the portrait, and then waited in the lake. As long as any of you go, he will immediately come out and assassinate!"

Ji Gang glanced at Zhu Zhanhe gratefully and said again.

"Wait, if the three of them didn't go all day, wouldn't the assassin wait for nothing?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked puzzledly.

"The king of Han didn't know that the Qiuxing competition will be held for more than ten days. Even if there is no harvest on the first day, he can go back the same way and continue to wait on the second day. The promenade on the lake is beautiful and not far from the competition. Far away, after half a month, it is likely to wait for one of the three grandsons."

Ji Gang explained again.

"Makes sense!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded again and again after listening. If the target is the three of Sun Zhanji and the others, plus more than ten days, then the chances of the other party's assassination success are great.

It's just that Zhu Zhanfu was unlucky. He walked up the corridor on the first day and almost let the assassin succeed.

"Now that the method of assassination is known, can the identity of the assassin be found?"

Zhu Di asked again, this was the question he was most concerned about.

"This one……"

Ji Gang hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth.

"The assassin's body is very clean, without any clues. I have asked someone to publish the portrait of the assassin throughout the city. If he stays in the capital for a while, we can definitely find out where he used to be."

"Check, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out his identity!"

Zhu Di slapped the table heavily and said angrily. The target of the assassination was his three most important grandsons. The other party wanted to cut off his roots and destroy the country of Daming. How could he bear it?
"The minister obeys the order!"

Ji Gang agreed, and immediately resigned and left. He must personally preside over such a huge case.

Zhu Di fired again, and then let the children and grandchildren disperse.

On the way back, Zhu Gaoxu tilted his head and told Zhu Zhanhe: "Son, try to minimize going out recently, and even if you go out, bring more people with you, don't be careless!"

"I plan to stay at home recently, dad, you should also pay attention to safety."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded, and said to Zhu Gaoxu at the same time.

"You don't have to worry about my safety, I hope those assassins target me!"

As Zhu Gaoxu said, he touched his waist knife, and a bloodthirsty look flashed across his face.

"No, you still have to go out recently!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly slapped his forehead at this moment, as if he had thought of something.

"what happened?"

Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly asked.

"Young master is ill. You were taken care of by the young master before, so you have to visit him out of reason."

Zhu Gaoxu explained.

"When did the young master get sick?"

Zhu Zhanhe was also a little surprised when he heard the words. The last time he saw Yao Guangxiao, he was obviously fine.

"I heard that he has been ill for a long time. The last time your grandpa returned in triumph, the young master didn't go to greet him. It is said that it is because of illness."

Zhu Gaoxu also heard from others, and the specific situation is not clear.

"Okay, tomorrow I will go to Tianjie Temple!"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded. Yao Guangxiao is one of the people he has had the most contact with since time travelling. The relationship between the two is very delicate. Now that the other party is sick, he should really visit him.

Back home, Zhang Zhong and Zhu Yong happily walked in before the chairs were warmed up.

"Zhan He, we won the first battle today, and we've killed the other side!"

Zhang Zhong held the weaving cage and shouted loudly when he saw Zhu Zhanhe.

"What? After such a big event, the Qiuxing Competition is still going on?"

Zhu Zhanhe's eyes widened in surprise, he thought that after what happened today, the Qiuxing Competition would definitely not be able to go on.

"It's just a small assassin, and there are no dead people. The Qiuxing Competition only happens once a year. Of course, it can't be stopped easily."

Zhang Zhong said again with a natural expression.

Zhu Zhanhe was speechless, he still underestimated these dandies, judging by their appearance, let alone assassins, even if the army is overwhelming, it probably won't affect their fun.

"It's not just us, Taisun didn't retire either. When we left just now, we saw him fighting with others, but the number of guards around him doubled."

Zhu Yong also added at this time.

"He's here too? It's not surprising!"

Zhu Zhanhe shook his head secretly. Historically, Zhu Zhanji was famous for being playful. Instead of making great achievements in politics and military affairs, he gave up Jiaozhi and sat back and watched the northern Oala unite the grassland ministries.

Daming's military equipment also began to relax from Zhu Zhanji's period, all of which laid the foundation for the defeat of his son's Tumubao.

It can be said that Zhu Zhanji completely failed Zhu Di's expectations of him. Xie Jin praised him as a "good grandson" at the beginning, and he was even blind.

"Playing with things and losing one's mind, there is nothing more than this!"

Finally, Zhu Zhanhe gave Zhu Zhanji a pertinent evaluation in his heart.

Who would have thought that Zhu Zhanji, who is now so heroic, will not be an outstanding emperor in the future, and his political achievements will not be remembered, but because he likes to play with Zhizhi, he will be crowned with the nickname "Son of Zhizhi"?
