The sudden downpour seemed to wash away all traces of last night's conspiracy and killings.
The blood-soaked stone road returned to its former appearance after the rain.
The sunshine after the rain is also extremely hot.
But some things just happened and cannot be covered up.
On the streets after the heavy rain, in the sunny market, there is no one!
Most people are cautiously hiding at home. Even if no one says to seal their doors, no one dares to show up, let alone talk privately, because they feel that at this time, the cry of killing last night is still in their ears.
At that time, when the streets were full of soldiers patrolling, even going out to visit a doctor or visiting a doctor was a crime that could be arrested.
People, be careful and you won’t make a big mistake.
~
Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town.
Zhu Yunxi woke up in a strange bed with bloodshot eyes.
He did not return to the palace last night, but slept here.
Ordinary people know that there is nothing wrong with being careful, let alone the emperor.
The mastermind behind the scenes has probably guessed it, and the person who handled it has been caught, but the mystery remains to be solved, and the spy who leaked his whereabouts has not been found. What's more, no one dares to say that the Forbidden City is safe today.
Not only did Zhu Yunxi not live in the palace, but after finding out the situation immediately, Ping An led heavy troops to surround the entire Forbidden City, so that not even a fly could fly out. Zhu Yunxi's wives and children were also killed by Chang Sheng.
Received it from Zheng Guogong Mansion.
"Long live Lord, you're awake!" Pu Wuyong heard the movement inside and ran in quickly without even wearing shoes.
He also stayed up almost all night, his hair was messy, his eyes were red, and his already thin cheeks looked even more haggard.
"Long live my Lord!" Pu Wuyong knelt and said while helping Zhu Yunxi put on his shoes, "All the ministers are here and waiting outside. They want to see you!"
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Let them come in!" He said, paused, "Bring me some water, I want to freshen up!"
At this time, he, the emperor, must show up in full spirit, otherwise people will be uneasy.
Pu Wuyong carefully helped Zhu Yunxi comb his hair and wash his face, peeking at his face while combing his hair.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Zhu Yunxi noticed his gaze and smiled.
"Long live the Lord, there is another good thing!" Pu Wuyong whispered.
"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi was slightly surprised, "What good things are there at this time?"
"Duke Cao Guo woke up!" Pu Wuyong said with a smile, "Duke Cao Guo's mansion came to report that at dawn, Duke Cao Guo woke up and ate a bowl of millet porridge. He can talk and stand up with help, that is..."
"That's it?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "You are trying to show off, I will ask you to serve Li Jinglong!"
"It's just that you don't speak fluently! Then you walk like you're carrying a basket!"
"Carrying a basket?" Zhu Yunxi was even more confused.
"That's it!" As he said that, Pu Wuyong tapped his left foot on the ground and made circles with his right foot, grinning and tilting his head as if he was paralyzed, "I can't speak clearly, and my tongue is blabbering..." Then, as if he was learning
Looking at Li Jinglong's current state, he said, "I'm so angry...the room is in a state of disgrace..."
"I'm going to see the emperor? Haha!" Zhu Yunxi was startled at first, then realized and scolded with a smile, "You eunuch, you dare to make fun of the prince of the dynasty, I think you are too tight-lipped!"
"Long live my Lord, you finally look like you are smiling!" Pu Wuyong pulled Zhu Yunxi's hair into a bun, tied it with a gold hairpin, and whispered, "Long live my Lord, Duke Cao Guo survived such a terrible crime.
You are the emperor, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the true dragon in the sky. No one can harm you!"
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly turned red and he was trembling as he spoke.
"Yes! You are right!" Zhu Yunxi patted the back of his hand, "I must be safe and sound, and our Ming Dynasty must also be safe and sound!"
After saying that, he stood up and opened his hands, letting Pu Wuyong change his clothes, and then said, "I'm telling Li Jinglong that since he's awake, he should take good care of himself and don't be in a hurry to see me. When he is well, I will go see him in person.
Well, tell Mr. Xi again that you must do your best in diagnosis and treatment. If you need anything, ask the internal medicine store directly!" As he said, he seemed to have remembered something, "Don't tell Li Jinglong about my assassination. He has not recovered from his serious illness, so it is not appropriate to get angry.
of!"
"My slave obeys the order!" Pu Wuyong smiled and said, "Long live my lord, I prepared millet porridge and eggs for you this morning!" After saying that, he smiled again and said, "My slave watched them make it, and my slave brought it to you?"
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Where are the queen and the prince?"
"This servant went to see the Queen in the middle of the night. The Queen hugged the Crown Prince and cried!" Pu Wuyong arrived immediately, "At the Duke Zheng's residence, it was Duke Zheng and his wife who personally took care of the food of the Queen, the Crown Prince and several other princes." As he said,
He whispered, "I heard that Duke Zheng and Duke Bao slept on the ground outside the queen's bedroom without taking off their clothes last night..."
"Did it rain heavily last night?" Zhu Yunxi asked with a frown.
"Yes!" Pu Wuyong said again, "When the slaves left, they stood in the rain like door gods!" He said, "The soldiers of the Chang family and the Lan family were also guarding the outside.
I have seen a bit of the world, but when I think about that scene, I feel chills running down my spine. The eyes of those people seem to be cannibalistic!"
"Thank you for their hard work!" Zhu Yunxi sighed slightly.
At the critical moment, it must be your own family members!
"Long live my Lord, how dare you!" Pu Wuyong said again, "The slaves in the palace have already asked people to secretly investigate!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi paused and said, "I know!"
After saying that, he said again, "Is Hu Guan here?"
"Waiting outside too!"
"Let him come in, bring him in from the side room, don't let outsiders know!"
"According to the order!"
Not long after, Hu Guan came in with an unshaven beard and his eyes were scarlet.
"I am guilty, please punish me!" After Hu Guan entered the room, he saw the emperor sitting in a circle eating breakfast, kneeling and kowtowing.
"Get up! I don't blame you!" Zhu Yunxi said lightly, "It's hard to guard against domestic thieves when trouble starts with Xiao Qiang!"
Hu Guan stood up, took a few steps closer, and said in a low voice, "After the incident, I immediately summoned all the spies from all the palaces...and found out..."
~~
Zhu Yunxi tried to appease the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government without saying anything, and then the scene changed.
In the Fusi torture chamber in Beizhen, He Guangyi and Guo Guanseng each held a bowl of pimple soup and sipped it with big mouthfuls.
In front of them, a bloody person, Shao Lin, was tied to a pillar.
That night they didn't ask anything, didn't even come to see him, they just tortured him non-stop.
The reason for this is to make Shao Lin collapse first. Both of them are masters of criminal punishment and have insight into the prisoner's mind.
For committing such a serious crime, Shao Lin knew that he would die. The behavior of a person who knew that he would die cannot be measured by normal human standards.
There is another reason, that is, the emperor wants to personally interrogate this person. If Shao Lin suddenly gets mad and curses the emperor when the emperor comes, both of them will be crippled for life even if they don't lose their heads.
"Suck! Suck!"
He Guangyi twirled the bowl and took big sips, "It would be nice to be a little jealous!"
Guo Guangseng didn't say anything. He turned his eyes and saw the coriander in He Guangyi's bowl, feeling a little disgusted.
"I'm just wondering, how come there are people in this world who don't eat coriander?" He Guangyi said again, "When this is over, I'll treat you to a meal, stir-fried shredded pork with coriander, fried belly with coriander, and cold coriander!"
Guo Guanseng thought of that scene and suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.
"I heard that Master Dutang doesn't eat celery?" Guo Guanseng retorted, "When the official invites you back, I'll treat you to celery stuffed buns, celery stuffed dumplings, and celery salad!" He paused and said, "Again.
Homemade sour beans, sour radish, sour ginger and sauerkraut…”
"Ahem!" He Guangyi almost choked, "Are you deliberately disgusting me? Don't you know I don't like sour food?"
"Are you jealous just now?"
"Vinegar is vinegar, acid is acid, they are two different things!" He Guangyi frowned and said, "I just liked your kid, but now you are so loud!"
Not far away, Qianhu Han Wu watched them grinding their teeth and thought to himself, "Childish!"
Then there was a whistle, and the tiger swung its tail and swayed its butt, squirming over, sticking out its tongue in anticipation.
"Additional meal!"
Han Wu smiled ferociously and walked up to Shao Lin.
"I said...."
"I didn't ask what you said!" Han Wu pulled out the knife.
"Ah!" As Shao Lin screamed, a piece of meat weighing about a kilogram was cut off from his beating leg, and then she held it in her hand.
"Woof woof!"
The tiger screamed excitedly, jumped up, bit it, and chewed it with big mouthfuls.
"You are so cruel!" He Guangyi sipped the pimple soup, frowned and cursed.
After hearing this, Guo Guanseng took a few steps away from him and said, "I don't know which one of you is cruel?" He put down the bowl and sighed, "I suddenly feel that our Jinyi Guards are all a bunch of lunatics!"
"Ha!" He Guangyi grinned, "Congratulations, you guessed it right!"
