A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 58 Luck
In a luxurious inn in Hangzhou, a huge team rested here.

Not only were the servants of the Duke of Yue, but there were also two thousand soldiers allocated by His Majesty from his own army to escort him.

With the power of the Duke of Yue, although it was unlucky for them to bring a coffin, when the commander of the soldiers, Zhen Zhenjiu, found the owner of the inn, he still did not hesitate, even happily, to bring the rest of the people in the inn. The residents were kicked out.

Just a room used for morgues, in exchange for the favor of the Duke of Yue, is not a very profitable business.

Since his boss was like this, Yan Ya and his party couldn't treat him badly. Although his boss repeatedly refused, they still gave him enough money, which was equivalent to renting the inn.

The top of the inn was used as a place to place the coffin. It had been emptied, cleaned, and the coffin was respectfully placed in the center. There was an offering table in front with offerings and incense.

The next floor is the residence of the old lady and the young prince. All traces of the previous life have been cleaned up, and even the beds have been removed and replaced with new ones, not to mention the bedding, etc., which shows that the owner attaches great importance to them.

It was impossible for all 2000 people to surround the restaurant, so [-] soldiers were left to garrison, while the rest set up camp outside the city.

The arrangements were well made and the journey was tiring. Soon after dinner, the candles in the room of the old lady and the young prince were extinguished.

Not far from the inn, there were more than ten people wearing black night clothes, looking at the inn. The leader of the group was holding a blueprint in his hand, which clearly showed the structure of the inn.

At this time, a man in black quickly came behind the leader.

"How about it?"

"Sir, after looking around, I see that this is the best inn in the whole city of Hangzhou. The fifty servants only occupy the main entrance and exit of the restaurant. For other places, we have to rely on the army. defensive."

Yes, there are a total of 80 servants in the Duke of Yue's Mansion, but only fifty were brought out this time.

This is normal. In the capital, you have a team of dozens of servants, which can be said to protect the safety of the mansion. But if the number is too large, the emperor will not be happy.

However, this also led to the fact that this huge inn was not fully defended.

There are only 50 people, which is not much in the first place, and half of them have to be arranged to change shifts. Nearly 20 of them are arranged outside the rooms on the next floor and on the corridors to protect the old lady and the young prince.

The vacancy on the top floor is too big, there are only five people, and the outside of the inn cannot be taken into account at all.

However, there was only a corpse over there, and there were five hundred pro-army troops outside. So although there were many omissions in the defense, no one took it seriously. The servants on the top floor showed more of a serious attitude. .

But what most people didn't expect was that it was the surrounding army that was the real source of danger to Prince Jingping's remains.

Soon, the night was getting dark.

Surprisingly, Yan Ya and her were sitting opposite each other in Feng Shuzhen's room at this time, not sleeping at all.

Neither of them felt sleepy.

"Mom, tell me, Your Majesty, he really knows how to... It's impossible, right? Dad is an important founding minister of the country, and since he has passed away, why is there any need to carry out this so-called confirmation?"

"Your father has told me many times that His Majesty's suspicions have become more and more serious in recent years. Right now, the Guo Heng case is in full swing, and the Hu Weiyong case has not yet been completely concluded (the implication of the Hu Weiyong case was not completely concluded until the 25th year of Hongwu). , countless officials and nobles were killed, and the rest were frightened and just wanted to go back to their countryside. At this time, your father died suddenly, do you think he would be suspicious?"

Feng Shuzhen whispered:

"Your Majesty, he is worried! He is afraid that if he takes the first step, a capable minister like your father will usurp the world of his descendants. Look, how many nobles have been killed? He wants to eliminate all the influence on the Zhu family. There is a threat! So he must confirm your father's death." "Then why didn't they take action before?"

"Because today is the best time." Feng Shuzhen sighed softly: "In the past few days, we have been camping in the wild, or the accommodation is small. Our servants concentrated on guarding them, and they could not find a chance to attack... King Kai Jingping Coffin, hey, it’s hard to block the long mouth of the world.”

"Mom, but father..." Yan Ya's voice was very low, as thin as a mosquito's moan: "He didn't even have a pulse at the time... The child was really worried... Even if he was still alive, he had not eaten or drank for so long. , can you really survive?"

"Believe in your father. Since he is confident that he can get through this, there must be his method." Feng Shuzhen's eyes were longing: "After all, he has received the favor of the immortal, how can we ordinary people compare... "

Yan Ya blinked, not understanding the meaning of his mother's words, but the other party had no intention of explaining.

"Remember, it is absolutely impossible for your father to show up this time when you return to your hometown, but the development of the family cannot be hindered. As the new owner of the Yan family, you must accept all power and arrange everything properly. Don't worry, we I’ll give you some pointers.”

"Yes, mother."
-
As mother and son whispered, the people in black outside the inn were also ready to take action.

The leader was the commander of the Jin Yiwei that day!
Taking advantage of the fact that it was already midnight and no one was around, they quietly came to the corner of the inn.

This side of the inn was guarded by heavily armed soldiers, but facing these suspicious characters, they not only had no defense, but also helped set up ladders and hold ropes.

This place is the place where the pro-army is responsible for defense, and it should be heavily guarded. However, Zhu Yuanzhang's Jin Yiwei commander was appointed as the commander of the pro-army this time!It would be too easy to replace the pro-military forces on this side with our own people.

The inn is not high, only four floors. The commander's subordinates are all carefully selected and are quite skilled at this. They also have all kinds of tools. They climbed to the fourth floor easily.

But it was not yet time to go in, and it was still night. Although there was no one where the coffin was resting, there were servants guarding the room. If you went in like this, you might not be able to notice any movement immediately.

If it is really discovered that someone is trying to open Prince Jingping's coffin, it will really cause an uproar in the world. The ministers in the court are all smart people.When the time comes, the group of people will definitely be beheaded by the furious Emperor Hongwu.

But the commander had already made arrangements.

Without keeping them waiting long, a cry suddenly came from the night sky:
"There are assassins!"

Suddenly, outside the inn, soldiers started shouting: "There is an assassin, where is he?"

"Protect the Duke and the old lady!"

"Don't leave your post without permission!"

On the stairs, there were also pro-military soldiers running around and making loud noises.

"enter!"

He shouted lowly, and four men in black followed him and opened the wooden window from the outside and stepped in cautiously.

The gentle sound was covered up by the noise.
