Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 453
When he came to the residence he arranged for himself in Hangzhou, Zhu Houzhao found that the location was not bad, it should be on the edge of the West Lake.

Standing on the top of the building and opening the window, looking at the mirror-like clear and clean lake outside, Zhu Houzhao's mood improved a lot.

It is really a good place to lean on the railing and see the water and the sky.It seems that Zhang Xian arranged it carefully.

Looking back at Yang Lian, Zhu Houzhao asked blankly, "Has someone been sent over here?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, the servant has already let Yang Bin go." Yang Lian bowed and said, "We need someone to take over here in Hangzhou, and he is the most suitable person. I don't know who can trust me here, so send our people Go ahead, take it easy."

Zhu Houzhao nodded.

This is what it should be. If such a big incident happened in Zhejiang, that Chen Laosan didn't report it, and none of his subordinates reported it, so it proved that something went wrong, and his subordinates couldn't believe it.

"Go and arrest a few people." Zhu Houzhao said lightly: "Release the news to the outside, saying that Chen Laosan has been arrested. Then go and arrest the people from Qiyizhai, seal the shop, and then see if there are any. What kind of reaction. The water in Zhejiang is too deep, try it first and see if anyone jumps out."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince. The servant girl will go now." Yang Lian promised.Immediately, he thought of something again, and asked hesitantly: "His Royal Highness, are you going to release the news that they are going to be arrested?"

Zhu Houzhao thought about this question for a while.

The reason Yang Lian said was actually the case of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing.To put it bluntly, it is to make people in Zhejiang realize one thing. The case of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing was done by people in Zhejiang.This time, His Royal Highness brought people here for this matter.

In this way, people with ghosts in their hearts will naturally jump out, which can be regarded as another form of scaring the snake.However, it is also risky to do this, because once those people know that they have nowhere to go, they are likely to choose to jump over the wall in a hurry.

Zhu Houzhao nodded after thinking about it.

Zhu Houzhao doesn't really care whether those people jump out or not.

It's just right for them to jump out, so I don't need to check, I can just follow the line to deal with them.

"Then show it, don't be too deliberate." Zhu Houzhao said casually.

"Don't worry, His Royal Highness, this servant knows what to do." After Yang Lian agreed, she bowed and retreated.

After Yang Lian left, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin and Zhang Yun who were standing beside him, and said with a serious face: "You should also pay attention, I'm afraid this place is not peaceful, drive away all the people arranged in Zhejiang. , and replace it with our own people. In addition, we have to buy all the food we eat every day, so there should be no trouble."

"Don't worry, His Royal Highness, the slaves will take care of all these matters." Liu Jin bowed quickly and agreed respectfully.

These are his responsibilities, and he is naturally responsible for doing them well.

"I'll go and arrange the defense right away, and I'll make sure everything is safe." Zhang He also said.

Zhu Houzhao nodded.

In fact, if those people would use force to attack or send an assassin over, Zhu Houzhao would not take it seriously.Because he felt that the other party had no chance at all, it was not because he was arrogant.

Although he was not familiar with this place, he was surrounded by Black Dragon Guards.The Black Dragon Guards are all trained by themselves, their loyalty is guaranteed, and more importantly, their abilities are not a problem.

When Zhu Houzhao lived here, the governor's office in Zhejiang was not peaceful.

Zhang Xian looked at the two people sitting below him, and said with a little helplessness: "I said you two, when is this, do you still have the heart to run to me? You should understand, go back and look at your own place , It’s much more useful than running up to me.”

"His Royal Highness is in Hangzhou now. If we are not careful, we will all be finished. Keep an eye on your subordinates and don't let them make any trouble. Okay, hurry up, don't sit here."

Although Zhang Xian said so, neither of those two people moved.

Sitting on the right is the person Zhang Xianrang ran errands for today, Han Tai, Chief Minister of Zhejiang Province.

At this time, Han Tai's face was not very good-looking, and he obviously didn't take Zhang Xian's words to heart. He put on a posture of not leaving until he got an answer.

"Master Futang, you also know that this is the time, so you should tell us the truth." Han Tai said eagerly.

"We are all officials on the ground in Hangzhou now. Although we cannot be said to be grasshoppers on the same rope, at least we are in the same spirit. Once we have something, the adults may not be able to explain it."

Zhang Xian raised his head and glanced at Han Tai, and said with a smile: "I don't understand what you said, we don't seem to have done anything wrong, right? Even if His Royal Highness is in Zhejiang, we don't need to be so nervous. Or, what are you afraid of His Royal Highness knowing?"

When he said this, Zhang Xian's voice was very drawn out, which was quite meaningful.

Hearing Zhang Xian's words, the person sitting on the other side quickly stood up, smoothed things over with a smile: "Futang, we have nothing to do, we are afraid that someone will make trouble. If someone creates something out of nothing in front of His Highness the Crown Prince , Telling the truth, we will be passive."

This time the person who spoke was the procuratorate of Zhejiang, named Zhou Yi, who was in her 40s this year.

Unlike Han Tae and Zhang Xian, Zhou Yi is a relatively fat person. She looks very kind when she smiles on her face, but because she is from a criminal background, she doesn't give people a very good impression.

Hearing what Zhou Yi said, Zhang Xian turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "I feel that I am not afraid of the shadow when I am upright. As an official in the officialdom, as long as you hold a certificate from Lishen, then there is no problem. Even if there are villains causing trouble, I believe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will see clearly and will not wrong us. So the two adults can keep their hearts in their stomachs."

After hearing Zhang Xian's words, the smile on Zhou Yi's face slowly froze.

Zhang Xian really didn't give the two of them face at all, and made it clear that he wanted to stand by and watch, or even add insult to injury.

The two of them came here today to let Zhang Xian stand up for the two of them.Looking at the way it is now, there is no need to think about it.

"Master Futang, Zhejiang is just so big, with so many people, and so many things. If something really happens, it's easy to implicate anyone. Sometimes there are many things that the person involved may not even think of. .” Han Tai continued on the sidelines.His complexion was not good, and he began to use guns and sticks in his words.

After saying this, Han Tai stood up directly and said, "Since Futang thinks nothing is wrong, then we have nothing to worry about. Let's wait and see."

After saying this, Han Tai walked out directly with a flick of his sleeves, without even saluting.

Seeing Han Tai turn around and walk out, Zhou Yi also stood up, cupped her hands at Zhang Xian, and then walked out.

After the two left, Zhang Xian put down the teacup in his hand, and his face sank all of a sudden.

Naturally, he could hear the threat in the words of these two people clearly, but Zhang Xian knew that he could not be threatened by the two of them.

Although I know that they can do anything under such circumstances, but under such circumstances, I can't even join forces with them.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Zhejiang this time because of a major event. Having been an official in the officialdom for so many years, Zhang Xian knew very well in his heart that no matter what it was, the people and things in the officialdom must be involved in the end.

They are acting so flustered now, so they must be involved in everything this time.

Since these people are involved, it would be a very unwise choice for me to get involved with them at this time.

Now I can stand on the shore and watch a play. If I get into the water and get my shoes wet, I'm afraid I'll drown in it.

I am not stupid, how could I promise them?
But some things are still worrying.Turning to look at the master next to him, Zhang Xian asked, "Master Zhou, where did Bingzhen go?"

"Returning to my lord, the yamen is really too busy. After all, His Royal Highness's arrival involves too many things, and I didn't notice where the young master went." Master Zhou said with some hesitation: "The young master is not a person without propriety, you should Nothing will happen at this time."

"Probably not?" Zhang Xian said with a sneer: "If he is sensible and knows the seriousness, there won't be so many troubles in these years. Send someone to find him for me immediately, and then lock him in the mansion. He's out."

"Now how many pairs of eyes are staring at me in Zhejiang. If there is any mistake, the family will be ruined. At this time, we must pay attention, and nothing can happen. If you let people stare at him, you must not let him go out to do anything."

"Those people outside now probably want to seize my handle and threaten me. They must not be given this opportunity."

Master Zhou said quickly: "My lord, don't worry, I know what to do."

After returning to his yamen, Han Tai's face was full of anger.

Looking at Zhou Yi who was sitting in the distance smiling, Han Tai said angrily: "When is this, can you still laugh? If you keep laughing, we will die."

However, Zhou Yi said to Han Tai unhurriedly, "Don't you even have some tea here?"

Looking at him helplessly, Han Tai ordered someone to serve tea.

After the tea came up, Han Tai said, "Now that the tea is ready, please speak up if you have any ideas. If you don't think about it, we're probably doomed."

After Zhou Yi took a sip of tea, she said slowly, "That Zhang Xian made it clear that he just wanted to stand by the river and watch the fun, and maybe he would make trouble for us. So we have to settle him first, otherwise things will be very difficult. .”

"Of course I know this, but how do I deal with him? For such a long time, he has been recalcitrant. If you want me to say that you shouldn't have indulged him so much back then, there is nothing wrong with doing it earlier. If you did what you said, you wouldn’t be here now. It’s because you insisted on worrying about this and that, so it’s fine now.” Han Tai said with some complaints.

Zhou Yi glanced at Han Tai, smiled and said, "How can there be so many things in this world that you can do as you please? Zhang Xian doesn't want to get involved in our affairs, and I can understand."

"Besides, who would have thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would come to us? But it's not too late now, there are some things that Zhang Xian can't help." Zhou Yi said meaningfully.

"If you have anything to do, tell me quickly, what time is it now, and you are still playing tricks." Han Tai said impatiently.

"I've been prepared for a long time, you just wait and watch the fun. Zhang Xian's precious son is our breakthrough, and then we can't let him go. Since he doesn't want to stand on our side, let's put him first If we continue, we can't give him the chance to stand by the river and watch our excitement." Zhou Yi said expressionlessly.

Han Tai was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, pointed at Zhou Yi and said, "I knew you had a way. But that's fine, after we get him out, we'll have the final say in Zhejiang."

"But it's useless to deal with him alone. We don't know what's going on with His Royal Highness. We don't know what His Royal Highness is doing in Zhejiang this time. If something really happens, we still don't know." Easy."

Zhou Yi waved her hand, "I don't know what the Crown Prince is doing here. We don't have anyone around His Royal Highness, so we can't get any news. Don't be smart enough to let someone take over the people around His Royal Highness, otherwise it will be easy. The gain outweighs the loss."

After hearing Zhou Yi's words, Han Tai waved his hands in embarrassment, "How could I do such a thing?"

Without trying to expose him, Zhou Yi continued: "Let people keep an eye on His Highness the Crown Prince and know what His Highness the Crown Prince is doing. Don't worry about the rest, let them be careful so they don't get caught."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Han Tai waved his hand and said.

"My lord, something has happened!"

While the two were discussing, a person from outside hurried in, with a very nervous expression, staggering almost to the point of falling.

After seeing this person coming, both of them stood up nervously.

Han Tai asked with a sullen face: "What is it like to be in a panic, what happened?"

"Something happened at Qiweizhai. Yang Lian, who was next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, took people to Qiweizhai just now. They were detained in the big shopkeeper of Qiweizhai. All the people in Qiweizhai were arrested and the shop was also closed. Already." The man said while panting.

Han Tai's complexion suddenly changed, he turned to look at Zhou Yi, and said in a daze, "This speed is too fast. Your Royal Highness, you have just arrived in Hangzhou, and your butt is not hot yet. Why did you send someone to arrest you?" Woolen cloth?"

After saying this, Han Tai turned his head to look at the person who reported the letter, and asked eagerly, "Do you know why?"

The man quickly said: "We don't know, there is no news for the time being. Sir asked me to tell the two adults, be careful in everything, I am afraid this time it will be difficult to pass this level."
