Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 40 Disaster!

"Your Highness, I didn't scare you, did I?" Zhang Chonghui said and retracted his hand.

The cold touch left his throat. Zhu Yi was still shocked, and the first thing he did was to reach out and explore!

When he was sure that his throat was still intact, Zhu Yili breathed a sigh of relief. The next moment, he hurriedly stood up and stepped back, as if the six-year-old child standing in front of him was a very terrifying devil.

"You are so courageous!" Zhu Yili opened his eyes and yelled: "How dare you...how dare you..."

Zhu Yili didn't know what to say for a moment. He couldn't let him say that he was a noble prince, but he was threatened and intimidated by a six-year-old boy, right?
  "Didn't you say you wanted to know? Why are you still blaming me?" Zhang Chonghui seemed not to understand why Zhu Yili was so angry. As he spoke, he spread his palm upwards, revealing a small, ordinary stone.

Only then did Zhu Yirui realize that the little kid had just put a stone against his throat, which scared him so much that he thought it was a sharp weapon.

"Is Ren Yangxin really trying to kill someone?" Zhu Yili asked the question sincerely.

"Of course not." Zhang Chonghui said with a childish look on his face: "He is a tall and tall old man, how could I kill him. He really committed suicide, I saw it with my own eyes."

"You'd better not be lying to me!" Zhu Yiliu warned.

"Why should I lie to you? Aren't you here to help our Zhang family? Why should I lie to someone who is helping me?" Zhang Chonghui's immature face was full of confusion, and he asked again:

"Did I just scare you? You misunderstood. I just wanted to play with you. I often played with my fourth uncle like this before. He also said that my speed was not fast enough and asked me to practice more. Maybe you can use this move to defend yourself."

Zhu Yi carefully observed all the expressions and actions of the child in front of him, but no matter how he observed it, the child in front of him did not seem to be lying, but he still maintained deep suspicion.

Everyone has been through this since childhood, and as a "liar" Zhu Yixuan is well aware of the terrifying lying ability of children.

He still remembered that he made a big mistake when he was six years old, but no matter how hard Empress Dowager Li pressed him, he refused to admit it. In the end, he even blamed his brother Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun will never forget this incident, because that time his brother Zhu Yijun was scolded badly. Not only was he scolded by Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Juzheng in turn, but he was even punished by Empress Dowager Li to kneel in the Ancestral Temple for two hours.

Recalling the evil things he did as a child, Zhu Yili actually didn't feel much guilt in his heart. It was precisely because of this that he became more suspicious of Zhang Chonghui!

This little doll is definitely not simple! I can't guarantee that Ren Yangxin was killed by him!
  Zhu Yili was doubting Zhang Chonghui, and Zhang Chonghui was also reviewing all this in his mind.

Zhang Chonghui knew very well that this young prince was the favorite of Emperor Wanli. In the current situation, it was impossible for him to kill Zhu Yili, let alone there was no need to kill Zhu Yili.

The reason why you scare the other party is to make the other party doubt you.

Zhang Chonghui was not afraid that Zhu Yirui would suspect him of killing someone, but he was also afraid that Zhu Yirui would not suspect him of killing someone.

Only by making Zhu Yili suspicious can Zhang Chonghui know whether the young prince is really here to help the Zhang family.

If Zhu Yili was really helping the Zhang family, then he would definitely try his best to help cover up Zhang Chonghui's murder; if he was not sincerely helping the Zhang family, he would be eager to expose Zhang Chonghui's murder!

Even if he stabbed him out, it wouldn't matter. How could the world believe that a six-year-old kid with no physical strength could kill a man in his prime with his bare hands?
  Facts have proved that Zhu Yixuan had no intention of exposing the matter. Instead, he asked people to take Zhang Chonghui away quickly, as if he didn't want to see this 'terrifying' child.

However, Zhang Chonghui refused to leave. Instead, he stared longingly at a jade pendant on Zhu Yili's waist. He even shamelessly said, "Your Highness, this jade pendant is really beautiful. Can you give it to me?"

Zhu Yixuan was also drunk. In his sixteen years of life, this was the first time he met someone who dared to ask for something from him. I don’t know whether he was accustomed to squandering too many treasures, or was in a hurry to send Zhang Chonghui away. Zhu Yili actually pulled off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it to Zhang Chonghui: "Take it, take it, you are quite discerning. , this is what I got from the emperor, take it and leave immediately!"

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Chonghui smiled happily while holding the jade pendant, but he still refused to leave. He begged again eagerly:
  "Your Highness, my father's body has been lying in the backyard for a long time and has not been buried yet. Can you be merciful and let us go out and bury him?"

"Hey, you kid! You actually dare to make conditions?" Zhu Yili seemed to be angry, and out of habit he wanted to step forward and give the little kid a kick, but halfway through, he turned back and said, "Forget it. , go and bury him."

Zhang Chonghui thanked him: "Thank you very much, Your Highness, but..."

Seeing that Zhang Chonghui still had no intention of leaving, Zhu Yili couldn't help but asked, "What else do you want?"

Zhang Chonghui was not polite and said directly: "It's just that our family is eating very poorly right now. I'm just growing old, so..."

"I know, I know!" Zhu Yili interrupted impatiently: "I will ask someone to give you something better to eat at the main office! It's really annoying! If it weren't for my mother... Okay, you can leave quickly! I don't want to see you again. is you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Chonghui left with satisfaction. Before leaving, he actually bowed his hands and bowed in a decent manner.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yili suddenly remembered that when he first met Zhang Chonghui, he had clearly said that he didn't know how to salute and that no one had taught him.

"Okay! This kid! How dare you play tricks on me again and again!"

Zhu Yili was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If he hadn't taken into account that he still had a 'mission', he would have caught this little kid and beat him up!
  The beating failed, so Zhu Yixuan could only indulge in a few curses. Maybe he thought that he was going to get married soon, so he couldn't help but cursed:
  "This stinky boy is full of nonsense. He will definitely be a disaster when he grows up. I really don't know which girl from an unlucky family would be unlucky enough to marry such a person!"

……

Zhang Chonghui returned to the backyard intact, not only bringing back the good news that Zhang Jingxiu could be buried, but he even secretly brought back a priceless jade pendant from the palace.

All the Zhang family members were shocked and asked what was going on with Zhang Chonghui. However, Zhang Chonghui was still as stubborn as before. No matter how the Zhang family pressed him, Zhang Chonghui still refused to reveal anything.

"Chonghui, you are really becoming more and more ignorant. Why don't you tell us anything? We are your elders!" Second uncle Zhang Sixiu acted like an elder and preached.

Zhang Chonghui's ears were on edge hearing this kind of questioning that used morality as a kidnapping, and he only responded with silence.

Zhang Sixiu was so ignored by his eldest nephew that he really had no choice but to think that this child was his eldest brother's only flesh and blood.

Even if Zhang Chonghui acted against his elders, Zhang Maoxiu, who was clamoring to beat Zhang Chonghui, was still reluctant to attack Big Brother's only flesh and blood. He could only express his dissatisfaction as an elder with a straight face.

Under Zhu Yili's instructions, Zhang Jingxiu's coffin was finally ready for burial.

Burial is a big event, and the date cannot be casual. After careful consideration and selection, the burial date was set in the next three days.

Three days later, the door of the Zhang family will truly open, and Zhang Chonghui will finally step out of this world. But before that, he had one more thing to do.

A matter that determines whether the Zhang family can truly escape danger!
